I’m considering dumping Windows for Linux and I have the same question. OP, did you ever try this? Please share the results. Has anyone else out there given this a shot? Is dual boot my best option?

Steven, Thanks for all of your help with this. I followed your instructions and all looks to be well. I guess we'll never know what caused it, but I have no zero '2024 value' or 'price' records left. The longest step was the application of the latest update to the new database. The export and import steps were pretty snappy. When all was done, I did some playing around with trying to port the 2024 values from the new back into the old. Trying to do the entire file gave me errors. I finally just chose a single title (Adventure Comics) and tried that. No errors and it seemed successful, but there was no change to the data. I decided that it wasn't an issue worth my time trying to understand. Thanks again, good sir!

Thanks Steven, looks like it will be an interesting exercise. I'll keep the thread updated,

Thank you for the suggestions. Neither solved my problem. I had understood that the weekly or so data update includes just the issues with price or value changes. If that never changes, I'm going to be stuck at zero. I looked at the update log for Dec 21 and I don't see updates for the early Batman issues that I noted above, yet all of those except issue 25 have a value after that update. They have a "Last Date of Value Change" of Dec 20. And I'm more confused than ever as to what the difference is between price and value. Does the 2024 Value fuel the Price field? and if the 2024 field is 0, is that the root of my problem? I did some more poking around. The vast majority of the 16,519 zero price issues show the "Last Date Of Value Change" as Dec 15 2024. A small number (3% or so) show as Aug 30, 2024. I don't think that I can go any further on my own with the limited knowledge I have of the data and its relationships. So many unknowns... I'm going to wait out the next update to see if anything changes. If not, I'll email the support team with my specifics.

Thanks for that, but neither option paid off. I tried the Grading option first with no apparent result. I still show 965 0.00 issues in my collection. I followed up with the Mass Change option on a single title (52 issues 1,9,11) and the results didn't change. They still show as zero. I didn't expect this to work because the value graph for each issue shows zero for 2024, picture attached.

Thank you, sir. All is well...I guessed that it would be a different result as soon as I saw the "Plus" in the file name. Appreciate the help...cheers.

I have the Professional Edition and I'm seeing the same issue. When I download from my registration page, the page says it's 2025.5.0 (2076), but the metadata on the downloaded file says 25.1.1.1977. You can see that it was downloaded at 4:28 pm EST today. Running the update shows no apparent result. When I try the update from the Setup menu, it goes thru the motions with still no apparent result. If I "check for updates" a second time, I'm told that 2076 is available and am asked if I want to install it. Upon re-launch after attempting both methods, the splash and "About" pages still show 25.1.1.1977. Hope that will help someone track this down.

After taking today's update, total value seems to be back in line with what it was last week. I still have lots of items with a 0.00 value. The "< .01" finds 965 (down from 1,393) issues in my collection and 15,554 (down from 21,402) not in my collection. Notable amongst the missing values are Batman 41, 67, 99, 101, Batman Adventures 12 and Amazing Spider-Man 40, 64, 66, 69. Has this data gap always been here and I just haven't noticed? I can't imagine it's because there's no market for these. I'd love to know what's going on.

Thanks for checking that out and for your thoughts. The "< .01" finds 1,393 issues in my collection and 21,402 not in my collection. It did identify the same Batman issues as above. I checked the entire Batman series of 1,045 issues and 169 have a zero price. I ran the rebuild list function last night and it didn't look to solve anything. I would guess that if it fixed something behind the scenes that I wouldn't see it until the next update. I'll update the thread once the next update runs. Cheers..

Batman (1940-2011) issues 1,2,3,4,5,8,12,21,24,25 all show as 0.00 in the price field. All other issues in the first 25 show what look like proper values. I don't see any pattern to this and it has hit issues that I own, issues that I don't and issues in series that I don't own. Thanks...I appreciate the help.

I don't usually pay attention to my total collection value because I've never bothered to properly populate the condition field. I did happen to notice this week that the total value had dropped considerably. Upon investigating, I see that a fair number of my books have had their "price" changed to zero and it looks like it happened during the Dec 14th data update. I have installed the latest build and data update but the values still show as zero. Any thoughts on how to correct this would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input. It relates to the original Batman title and a 17-issue run that was published from 1948-1950. Adding it to Batman (Canadian Edition) would make the most sense to me.

Issues 45-61 of Batman had Canadian versions printed. They had a lesser page count than the US versions (mostly missing ads) and contents could differ. Covers pretty much matched up, "Published In Canada" being the noticeable difference. Issues 45-54 were published by NPP Canada and 55-61 by Simcoe Publishing. I have a number of them, but have never been able to find them in ComicBase. Anyone know if they're lurking somewhere in there? Cheers, Tom

Did we ever get a response to this issue? I'm currently on Professional build 1218 running on 64-bit Windows 10 Home. The reported 'No Current Row" issue is not new to the 2021 release. Like Antonio, when I attempt an export with headers and the csv delimiter, I get the 'No Current Row' error. The tab delimiter presents no such issue. While I'm here, perhaps you could also look at the "missing" last field issue I'm having. It seems to be linked to a csv request, it's also not an issue with tab. If I request a simple "title, issue, quantity" export, I get an un-wanted first field (looks to be tied into a 'printing' number) and the last requested field (in this case, quantity) is dropped. Easy enough to work around, I just request an extra field that I don't care about. But still annoying because I forget to add it. See attached "capture2" and "capture3" images. I had never tried the tab delimiter, but it seems to be an immediate solution, see "capture4". Based on my experience, I'd suggest the csv format is the more commonly used delimiter, though. Something else that would be useful...save my export request for re-use. You remember my options, but not my fields. Perhaps you could also add 'Publisher" to the field list, that would come in handy for me. I really struggle with the built-in reporting tool. I have never been able to get it to do exactly what I want it to do. I import the data into a different tool and I can make it do whatever I want. Cheers to all...
