Barton, That’s because it is a user created ID. It can be used for your external files attached to your family file and will use the file ID numbering/tracking id's you create. The File ID Number Assistant works with your file id's that you have used and can add incremental numbers to those files that you use if you are creating them as you use them.

I went to Help and typed in "File ID" in the index and "File ID Number" came up. I selected Display and a screen came up with the heading "File ID Number Assistant." There is information on how to generate lists, sort and perform various functions using the File ID, but there is no definition or explanation of the File ID itself. That information would be helpful. Thanks, Barton -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
