telling me I have no choice except to go through 1700 of them adding

Why do User ID's in the Name List sort as 1, 10, 100 instead of 1, 2,
3? Is this a bug or the way it's supposed to be? Do the numbers
require similar number of digits such as 0001, 0010, 0100?

Hi Jane,
Thank you, and thanks to everyone who responded - the LUG is just great!
I can certainly live with typing something in the Find box to force
the list to display. It's nice to know I'm not the only one seeing
squirrelly grid behavior.
Thanks again!

I don't know what the use of RIN's in the User ID field would be, but
since you put it like that, I think being able to use it for MRIN's
would be a really neat idea.

If you mean why would you use RIN's for a filing system, there is no
reason I can think of. MRIN's is a different thing. Geoff Rasmussen
has written an eloquent description of it at File Your Papers.

Ron -- I'm new to the group and to Legacy too. It's one of the reasons I joined
the group.
I have the Legacy 7.0 Deluxe and the help says "The Renumber RINs screen is
reached by choosing Renumber RINs from the Tools menu."
It's a fairly lengthy help page. Key parts though about renumbering are:

way of naming files looks fine except it is better if you do not use commas or
