    CB2021 - installation/start up trouble

    in Tech Support

    Posted

    Herb, you shouldn't have to run the System Restore. Just Uninstall CB. (Not saying System Restore is a bad idea but, it is kind of a sledgehammer option (but sometimes you DO need a sledgehammer...)).

    However, with CB 2020 installed, you should be able to Check for Updates and get CB 2021 installed (can't recall if you need to download/install or if the install starts up automatically).

    Questions when importing from Iphone App

    in Tech Support

    John, I don't use this feature so I am not sure if this will help or not.

    If you want to 'not process' what you have on the phone, one thing you might do is create another 'dummy' database (change the Theme so it is obvious it is not your actual database).

    Then, with the dummy database open, import/process the items on the phone into this dummy database. This should (theoretically) process/clear the items.

    Then close that database and open your real one.

    problem since last update 2021

    Also, the 'play button' icon doesn't show up next to the Item #.

    I had the same problem as Robert. I reset the Pictures and Media folders to the default then changed them to my location.

    At that point, even though the 'play button' doesn't appear, clicking on the box, executed the play option.

    SQL Querying

    First, you can't connect to the ComicBase Database. It is locked.

    Depending on the edition of ComicBase you have, you can export some of the data (Publisher isn't part of the Export process) to a CSV file that can be imported to another database.

    You can get Publisher (and Title) with a Find using Title Field Publisher Is Greater Than <space> (just press the space bar once). Once you have that, you can Select ALL (CTRL+A), copy from CB then paste into another program (Notpad, Excel, etc.) to get a Tab-separated list that can be imported into your database, then joined to the Exported Issue information to get a more complete record.

    If you have the Archive Edition, there is an Advanced Search that lest you do some SQL queries. It is not a full-blown SQL interface but you can do some things.

    NOTE: If you ran the update before the 4:35:29 PM version, you might want to run it again as the first update (around 11:00) renamed a bunch of
    Books Item #'s that it shouldn't have. The Second update corrected this.
