I believe it happens because you have to put the screen you wish to use in

The best and easiest way is to export your entire database to a
gedcom and then import it into a new file making sure that,when
importing, you have ticked the box entitledrenumber RINs. You can
select your starting point so rather than starting at number 1, all
records from this
From personal experience, be sure that that is what you do want to do - i.e..,
change the RIN/MRIN numbering, expecially if you have personal File ID numbers
associated with to your research papers based on these numbers.
I have been working for the past month or so trying to get my records
Why not using Customer ID's, they never change, unless you do that yourself.
Remember, RIN's and MRIN's are numbers created by Legacy in record input
order. They are meaning nothing, but are only nescessary for linking records
within the program.

Have you tried FileFile MaintenanceCheck Repair? I cannot imagine how the

in the database - actually I cannot see how Legacy is still functioning

Correct. Tom, that was a mistake selecting Legacy to be the default program
