[LegacyUG] RIN numbers

2012-08-11 Thread MJ SA
I know this question is really going to be on the top of everyone's dumb list, but the RIN numbers, if I put them in numerical order, will that tell me how many people I have on my family tree? Aside from not knowing Legacy at all, I am really good at researching :) Legacy User Group guidelines

You can use Renumber RIN's under Tools to renumber RIN's one at a time. So, if the only one she cares about is herself, that would be easy. Otherwise, it's one at a time all the way through. --- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://www.jgen.ws/jlog/ On 9/30/2012 5:44
