Michele, I very much doubt it. The RIN is not the key field for a record, it is just a number which has no use in the DB. Each table in the DB, including the one containing the RINs has the first column as the key field, the RINs are in the second column, and play no part in the linking of the tables. Reusing a RIN does not recreate a key field.
