Hi Norma,
It seems odd if your largest RIN is smaller than the number of people. I really don’t see that actually happening as each person has to be assigned a number. If the number is larger than the number of people – that is normal, particularly after some adding, deleting, merging people. The RIN’s are not necessarily in a complete sequence. My highest RIN is 446678059 – I have quite a large file, but not that big J I just renumbered the RIN’s in my file and now the highest number is just over my name count. If you don’t use the RIN’s for another purpose, then you could try the renumbering as well, but I don’t think there is anything to worry about.

An individual should have only one RIN whether she never married or married multiple times. The total number of individuals is derived from “general information’ under the help tab. I have 3 other family files: one is over 10,000 people, another over 5000 and a very small one of only 56 people. I’ve checked all 3 files and the 2 largest do not correspond either, but people have been merged & deleted in both files, so I’m not surprised. The very small file of 56 people is correct in that the total number of people corresponds to the largest RIN. The file seems to be working correctly so maybe I’m obsessing over nothing, but I’d still like to have the numbers correspond.

You would only have more individuals than RINs if you're showing the AKAs or married names....

And Like Cathy said make sure ALTERNATE and MARRIED names are not ticked under the name list OPTIONS. My name list has 18,767 individuals and Help>General Information matches. I do have a lot of unused RINs so my highest RIN is 18,843, 76 higher. Of course I have the reverse of you. I don't see how you can have more people than RINs. In the name list, click the # button at the top left of window to sort the list and then scroll down to the bottom of the list and verify the highest RIN is lower than the other counts.
