Dave, I do not know the order in which the renumbering commences, but if you are thinking of renumbering to create some sort of RIN hierarchy for your family files then I fear you will find it a waste of time.
As you probably know Legacy creates a new RIN for each new person be taking the next available number, or if you have re-use abandoned RINs set it will select the first available RIN. So even if there was some semblance of order when first renumbered it will very soon be rapidly ruined by adding and deleting people. There are many on this list who can testify to this reality. One final point, for those who put Pedigree websites on the internet the file name for a page is RIN.HTML, so a change in the RIN will ruin bookmarks for anybody who saves a page, and render Google searches impotent, if only for a short period of time. You can, of course use the User ID box to systematically identify the hierarchy, and should you so wish, include the RIN in such a system.

I have about 15,000 records in my Legacy DB. Can anyone tell me how the renumber works? Does it start with my start family, my spouse, my children, their children, my parents, etc? Or is it sort of random based on how the data is stored? Dave David L.
