Hi Bruce I also use individual numbers for filing, but early on started using UserID's - as that way I believe I can control the numbering. The RIN is a machine allocated number, and you cannot easily control it - for example when you merge duplicates, or swap software (heaven forbid). With the Us

I believe it is a database, of 'photocopies'. Each one has a coded name which is search-able, as the census is. The indexing is done on the name file with the attachments (photos) following along. It doesn't matter if we disagree, I would still handle it in Mills as a DB. This may be an instance
