Laura, That's right. the User ID in the Marriage Information window is used to identify that particular marriage.
At Options > Customize > View, you can select to show RINs or User IDs on lists or the Family View. Unfortunately neither number will show on the Marriage bar. There are a lot of ways to number your paper files. I like the Mary EV Hill color coding system for filing (which Legacy also uses to identify ancestral relationships). Thanks for using Legacy.

Also, on the Family window, there is a bar under the couples' names that has the marriage info ... I see that fields cannot be added to be visible on that bar, like the Marriage ID. I could make a static Marriage ID for filing (of my own creation), and then not worry about how the RINs and MRINs are reassigned. There would not be a relationship between the RINs and MRINs and the Marriage ID I would arbitrarily assign to couples and their families.
