Sue, there is one way to renumber your whole data base, if you really want (or need) to do that. First of all you need to create a new data base with you as the only entry. Next, import your existing Legacy database into this new file. Merge your old entry for yourself with your new entry (as #1). The other individuals will then be renumbered. There is no guarantee of what order that will happen in, though.
Just remember though that RIN's and MRIN's are of significance only to the computer program. It really doesn't matter which number an individual (or marriage) has. As you find and add individuals over time the new sequence (above) you create will be once again "out of order". Doesn't really make much sense to rely on them does it?

I didn't think using the above option would do that. It was my understanding that "Fill missing RINs from RIN greater than or equal to" would fill in RINs that were abandoned when people were deleted from the file.
