Missy, This didn't become an issue for me as I already had most of the documents for the key families and so just divided the binders up by what would fit in them - so some have 10 MRINS and later ones might have 20 MRINS. I am not sure how you could avoid having to move things.
Another point - I gave up early worrying about RINs. I did re-order my MRINs, though. I did this as I worked through my families with documents, starting with my parents and then doing my father's male line, then female line and then began again with my mother. After that came the ones for son-in-law's families etc. About File IDs - if you use the system of numbering files as set out in http://www3.telus.net/Jgen/2006-10-20-mrin_digital_filing.shtml that is where you would put the file ID.

When you find more things on someone in the first binder how much trouble is it to shove stuff from binder to binder to make room for the new stuff in the binders that have the lower MRIN numbers? missy Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
