Not really. Besides shoveling my car out of a snowbank, my schedule's
free today. Oh, right, it's Christmas.
I use the MRIN filing system myself so I'm interested in the extra
dimension you're adding to it. As far as numbering, you could split
your grandparent's lines by number and be able to identify them that
way. Say MRIN's starting with 1, 2, 3 or 4. Depending how far you are
into it with your related documents and how much trouble it would be to
'start over'.
Dennis K signed his email with 'Legacy Tools' so I assume that's public
info. There's something there that would help you with at least one
aspect of what you're trying to do.

Other choice. Print your tagged lists one at a time as csv, import
them all into a spreadsheet, sort by name (or whatever you want) and
print from there. It doesn't get any numbers into Legacy but it
solves the problem of having a list.

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!
