  1. I only get 2259 but ti is probably the same entries for the most part. Comic Title-Issues with Street Date 2-28-2009.txt
  2. Looking at the contents on Google Books, 'Rube Goldberg Inventions' should be a type Books: https://books.google.com/books?id=uxR9Mf3ZhDsC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false
  3.

  4. No. Publisher is only in the Title table. It is not in the Issue table. Which is why it has to be referenced as ComicTitles.Publisher in an Advanced Find instead of just using an I (which indicates Issue) for I.IssueNumber
  5. If you do decide to upgraded to Pro (I think that has advanced find) or Archive and what to know some of the basic Advanced Find 'stuff', look at the Advanced Find Guide 'someone' put together
  6. That is the way the creators decided to do this in the early days of CB. Not sure of the exact criteria but it appears if the numbering is continuous, the change in publisher is put into the title notes/comments. See 'Phantom, The (1st Series)' as another example (Gold Key, King, Charlton).
  7. What Edition of CB do you have (Archive, Pro, Express)? The Archive Edition (and Pro, I am fairly sure) have the Advanced Find option, Express doesn't (I think). (see attached) Bring up a Find window (one way is to click on the magnifying icon). Click the Find Drop-Down box and select Advanced Find. (if you don't see it then it is not available in your Edition). Paste you Query in the 'Items Where...' box. You can used this the the 'Order By' box to sort the issues like CB would: ComicTitles.AlphabetizedTitle, I.ItemType, I.IssueNum, I.Variation, I.Printing PS You are using ItemNumber which is okay since Anl is the first part. But ItemNumber is a composite field made up of the 4 values 'ItemType, IssueNum, Variation and Printing. It would be better to use 'I.ItemType' = 'Anl' as you extend this concept if you want to find particular Variations with I.Variation <> 'NS (if you wanted to excluded Newsstand Issues (with <> being Not Equal'. If you tried that with ItemNumber you would need to use Like.
  8. Delete or Move ALL (1.jpg - 1-I.jpg) From: Pictures\M\Marvel\G\Godzilla Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man To: Pictures\M\Marvel\G\Godzilla Vs. Spider-Man
  9. I will only mention this in case you don't know or if it might help in some cases. As you state, Item # is a composite of the 4 fields Type, Number, Variant, Print. Each of those fields are also in their individual fields which give you 5 fields: Item # (a composite), Type, Number, Variant, Print. This probably won't help much for regular Finds but they can using Advanced Find (if available).

  11. Could you be a little more specific than 'the latest'? In my database and on AA there is a Star Wars #1/E listed as a 2025 Facsimile Edition. https://atomicavenue.com/atomic/item/1506203/1/Star-Wars-1-Variation-E-2025-Facsimile-Edition (also an #1/F Foil Facsimile Edition, #1/G 1:25 Incentive 2025 Facsimile Edition Cover by Jerry Ordway.) Is one of these what you are referring to?
  12. Try using menu item File->File Tools and one or more of the following: A) Optimize Database (using Full database integrity). B) Rebuild Lists (checking all but the last one (unless you want to process Picture files then check it, also). C) Recover Database. Those are about the only options available to you. If the problem persists, you may need to contact support.
  13. It wasn't so much a bug as a feature. Some people wanted the ability to do date/time searches. In setting this up, all date fields (except Cover Date and Street Date where time would make no sense) where changed to Date/Time. As you (and a few others) found out, this didn't work out so well for Custom Dates (since most would not use time) and they where changed back to just Date. Other columns where Time will work better are still Date/Time (i.e. Last Modified, Last Qty Change, etc.)
  14. If you are referring to the larger cover in the top left corner, there is no way to set it. CB decides which cover to show. This is based on some sort order that I think it is text based as opposed to numeric. For example if you have cover for issue #2 and #10, then #10 will be the one chosen as text '1' comes before text '2'.
  15. If you get the Express (or higher) edition, then the Weekly Content Update will add those (and other) titles/issues. Just to check, I created a New Database (which uses the default database that is part of the Install files). This New Database (before any Content Update) does NOT have the two titles you have mentioned, either (and I have the Archive Edition). Not sure at what point that 'default' database gets refreshed but it has not been for awhile. The Program part may be updated but the default database is older than that.
