If you mean changing the RIN and MRIN numbers to compact the file then yes you can. You only want to do this if you do not use these numbers as part of your paper or electronic filing system.
1) Go to Tools > Renumber RINs or MRINs. You are going to make two passes. For the first pass you are going to select Fill all missing RINs from highest RINs (Compacts the Individual Records) and then click Apply. For the second pass you are going to select Fill all Missing MRINs from highest MRINs (Compacts the Marriage Records) and then click Apply. 2) Go to Options > Customize > 4. Data Defaults Scroll down to 4.4 When Adding New Records (ff) Checkmark Reuse Abandoned RINs You will notice that there is an (ff) which means this is a family file specific setting. In other words, if you have more than one family file you will have to do step 1 and step 2 for each one.
