Hi Carol, I'm just trying to renumber my direct line. I didn't think using the above option would do that. It was my understanding that "Fill missing RINs from RIN greater than or equal to" would fill in RINs that were abandoned when people were deleted from the file. >From Help Topics: Fill Missing RINs from RINs greater than or equal to: ______ - Takes records from the end of the file that are numbered greater than or equal to the cutoff point you specified and renumbers them to fill in holes below your cutoff point. This fills in the holes without changing any of the RINs below your cutoff number. (This might not fill all the holes below your cutoff point if there are not enough numbers above it. You also might end up with holes above your cutoff point.) As far as I know, there is no way to renumber RINs where direct line ancestors would be numbered first and in order by generation, except by doing it manually. Wouldn't surprise me, though, if I was missing something here. :-) Sue Legacy User Group Etiquette guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup%40mail.millenniacorp.com/ To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/LegacyLists.asp
