Whereas I find the use of RINs (as part of the User ID) perfect for all my filing needs and use them all the time for finding people in my file. I never have any trouble with them getting "messed up". I don't add people until I am very sure where they fit in so it's rare I have to change a RIN on any of my paper files and if I do delete anyone it's likely to be someone I have very little information on and I re-use the RIN for the next new person. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
