Dee, In the past, I remember Ken McGinnis mentioning that sometimes these counts will be off because of something to do with the Access database upon which the Legacy family file is built. Doing a File Maintenance will correct the differing counts, but there aren't any problems with extra people, or people getting left out. It's just the count that sometimes needs to be corrected using either File Maintenance or exporting to a new family file. Hope that helps some....

Okay, I compared the lists. Here are all the steps. I started with a file called Gagliardi line. In the name list, it says it has 253 people. I exported it to a Legacy File on my own computer. I told it choose all records, export private people, keep the original ID #'s, formate names nad palces, export general To Do's, exclude LDS info. I told it Don't Assign a Source. The new file is called Export Gagliardi. Its Name List says it has 255 people in it. BUT, when I compare them, they have exactly the same RIN's. Now there's a mystery! Why does it say there are two more in the new file?? It would really be good to understand this. I tried it again, not excluding LDS info or private info, etc., and got the same results -- always two extra people supposedly in the file. I counted and compared twice, with the files side by side, on a split screen, going down one by one. I was pretty careful, though I can't say I'm perfect. The reason for the export is to go on to export another file into it and make a combined file. But I want to be sure I have the complete info and no extras. Help (small whimper)??
