One more thing I had pointed out to me.
If you have Qty of 2 or more for an issue, the values you get won't be quite accurate.
If this is the case, and you want more exact values, you would need to do option 1 (copy Cover Price AND Qty in to a spreadsheet). Then multiply Cover Price by Qty to get all of the issues counted.
For example, if Qty is 2 and Cover Price is 1.00, option 2 would only be 1.00 while option 2 would be 2 x 1.00 or 2.00.

Follow up...
It appears that after you make the Mass Change, you need to run Rebuild Lists (I all except the Pictures list but probably just need Item Information (which list 'recalculates totals' as part of its processing)).
Before Rebuild Lists:
Collection Report displayed Cost (Cover Price) as: 2,683.09.
After Rebuild Lists:
Collection Report displayed Cost (Cover Price) as 93,469.62.
NOTE: In both cases the Collection Statistics had 93,469.62.
So, either run Rebuild Lists to get the correct information or just use Collection Statistics.

Short answer is that CB has no direct way to give you Cover Price totals you are looking for.
(Mainly, I think, because Cover Price has no real meaning for a collection (like Cost (what you paid) or Price (what it is worth)).I can think of a couple of ways to do this. But they take some work.
1) Work out side of CB
Run a Find where Quantity in Stock is >= 1 (you own it).
(Make sure you can get as many rows displayed as possible by setting Preference 'Rows to Display in Grid view')
Select all the cells in the Cover Price column (click the first cell, go to the bottom, press and hold SHIFT while clicking in the last cell).
Use CTRL+C to copy the date.
Paste the data into a spreadsheet.
Sum the values in the spreadsheet.
NOTE: if you have more comics than can be displayed at one time, you will need to advance to the next 'page' of results and repeat the Select, Copy, Paste process.2) Let CB do the work for you (in a destructive way).
NOTE: Do this on a COPY of you database. DO NOT do this on your actual database.
Run a Mass Change.
Change: Cost
To: Cover Price
Apply to ALL Titles
You will get a warning that this change can not be undone.
Did I mention you should only do this to a Copy of your database?
After the change (done on the copy, correct...?)
Run a Collection Report.
The last page will get you the Total Cost (which is identical to Cover Price at this point). -
It would probably be best to contact support for faster response.
-
If you click on the green arrow on the Registered Products page, it should take you to the CB2023 download. If it doesn't, there is probably a incorrect link.
You did find the work-around for this.
-
Lawrence, if you need CB running, you can try this:
Go you your registration page and download the CB 2022 install.
Uninstall, CB 2023 and it Resources.
Install CB 2022.
This part is important.
Locate and rename a backup to a temporary name.
Double click on this temporary name database to open CB 2022 with THAT database (I don't think you want to try to open a CB 2023 converted database with CB 2022).
This is assuming you have a current backup and it is as up-to-date as you regular database (you haven't entered any new or corrected data that has not been backed up).
Final warning. If you sell on AA, the same thing goes. If you have made sales since the last backup, you would run into sync problems.
Or...
Wait until tomorrow and/or send an email to support.
-
I just received the e-mail ComicBase Announcement for CB 2023. This means everything 'should' be in place.
-
I believe they are in the middle of adding the CB 2023 'stuff' to their website.
I would wait for a 'It's here' type message (or at least until tomorrow).

That sounds like and looks like the cover for Marvel Collector's Edition: X-Men #1

Marvel Collector's Edition: X-Men #1
Sometimes a Find for Storyline may help.

Just downloaded the update this morning and I got all the log files, as expected.
For those that don't know, you can check to see if Log Files exist by checking on you C drive in \Users\<logon-id>\Documents\Human Computing\ComicBase <your-version> Edition\Log Files

PS Looks like another candidate series for Item Title usage.

And, to answer your last question, No, I do not show this when I check Unrecognized Items (and I just forced an Update to double check and still nothing). Not sure what is going on.
And Gregory is correct. Most, if not all of them have been changed. For example, 'Absolution' by Avatar was changed to 'Absolution (Avatar)' due to a duplication with 'Absolution (AWA) and 'DC Super Heroes: Batman' 1-14, 23, 24 moved to Books and became TPB 1-TPB 14, TPB 23, TPB 24.
Question: Are you using CB 2022 or are you taking part in the new CB testing and using that?
-
Looking at on-line copies, Adam is correct. 1-3 just has Dark Crisis (cover and indicia) while #4 has Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths (on cover and indicia).
However, second printings of 1-3 have Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths.
So, it is publishers 'playing games' (again...).

If you have one of the scanners HC sells, look here for Barcode Scanner Setup Guides:
https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Products/barcodesetup.aspx
If not, you need to enable the 2-Digiat supplementals and 5-digit supplementals for your scanner. Look through the manual to see how to do that.
-
If it helps, most, If not all, of the 'one-shots' are double-numbered in the indicia. (i.e. 1 (#5), 1, (#6), etc.)

The only thing I will add, is if you try to sell on AA, the custom grades will be changed to official ones (not sure of the exact mechanism).
-
Not sure what you are referring to.
CB has:
Standard Grades of MT, NM, VF, etc (none of which have a 9.x grading)
CGC : 10.0, 9.9, 9.8, 9.6, etc.
CBCS: 10.0, 9.9, 9.8, 9.6, etc.
EGS : 10.0, 9.9, 9.8, 9.6, etc.
PGX : 10.0, 9.9, 9.8, 9.6, etc.What are you looking for or where are you not seeing what you expect?
