JL:
This works for viewing on the computer. I'm also trying to create a
printed list of the individuals that shows where their documents are filed.
Thanks for your continued assistance.

The only thing I can think of that's built into Legacy for marking
lines is the color-coding for the 4 grandparents. Could you work
something with this instead?

I didn't write the sentence clearly enough. I meant to say I
wanted to print a list of all individuals in my database and that
list would contain the User ID field so anyone looking at the books
rather than the computer could quickly see in which Family Book
that person's paper documents are located. Regardless of printing
the list, I still need the Family identifier in the User ID field
so I can see on the computer what Family line an individual belongs
to in order to file and retrieve their paper documents.
Thanks for the response to my question. I'll see if anyone chimes
in with the magic answer. If not, it'll be a few hours of manual
entries (I guess I could just add the MRIN number at the same time
and start with the individuals that I do have documents for).

I don't think Legacy has that capacity. Every once in awhile I'm
looking for batch-processing and then I remember, that's in my
graphics software, not Legacy. But there are some on this list
who do fancier things with databases behind the scenes. Here's
hoping one of them shows up.
You could still print a list for each tagged group. Why does it
have to be a list from the User ID field?

I want to put the same piece of information in the User ID field
for a tagged list of people, all at one time (not doing it one by one).
Does anyone know how to do this or that it cannot be done?
In case someone has a better idea: I am setting up a new filing
system for hard copy (paper) documents and have decided to create
family books for each of my grandparents (using the MRIN
system). I want to use the User ID field to note in which book
that person's documents are filed. Eventually I may (one-by-one)
add their MRIN number so I will have a permanent record of the
filing system I am using in case the MRIN numbers get messed up
or have to be changed some time in the future. In the meantime,
I'd be thrilled just to get the "book" reference input to the
User ID field so I can print a list with this field to know in
which book to look for the documents.
Thank you.
And Happy Holidays to All!
