Since when? I have not compacted my family file for some time, but I have in the past, and it has never changed my RINs, so if it does so now a bug has crept in. BTW. I have never changed my RINs since I started to use Legacy some 10 years ago, and have compacted my file many times.
I have a file which I can use for testing, so I will give it a go and come back to the list later.
