easiest way is to use the Name List, sort by RIN, and tag the ones you want. Then, export tagged individuals. On Mon, Jul 4, 2016 at 11:57 AM, Steve Hayes wrote: > How do I export a range of RINs to a GEDCOM file? > > For example, RIN 2712 to 2835? > > > -- > Steve Hayes > E-mail: sha...@dunelm.

A couple of ways: 1. Put all of the individuals into a Focus group and export that. 2. Put all of the individuals with a unique tag and export that. I don't think there is a quick way to make the group or tags unless all of the individuals are related. Regards Chris -Original Message- F

If your family file is named "MY_File.fdb" You need to search for "MY_File.ldb", the "Lock File" that is preventing you from opening your file. Substitute your actual file name. Apparently Legacy was open when your drive crashed and the lock file remained. On 7/4/2016 2:34 PM, Dave Johnson w

To tag a sequential group of RINs, go to Name List, click on the # (first column ) and enter the first number. Now pick which tag number you want and double-click down the column, advancing the page of names as necessary. Once tagged you can export the tagged group, or whatever else you want.
