Items in my collection that I did not add
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Adam Castracane's topic in Tech Support
Sorry. Menu item. File->File Tools. Click on Rebuild lists. You should now see the check boxes. -
Items in my collection that I did not add
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Adam Castracane's topic in Tech Support
Try Rebuild Lists with Series Information and List of Owned Series checked. This may clean up some 'junk' (that is a technical term...) that is causing this. If that doesn't work, you can try to create a new database and see if that has the same problem. A more drastic step would be to delete the problem Titles (do this by deleting all issues). They should be put back in your database with the next update (or you can force an update by pressing and holding the Shift key when you select Internet->Check for Updates). -
Items in my collection that I did not add
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Adam Castracane's topic in Tech Support
Okay, we are getting somewhere. When you select the Collection overview, what do you have selected or checked? Titles to Print: Current title, Titles I own, or Selected Titles? If you have Selected Titles does it have a (x chosen) and if so what is the value where the x is) i.e. 1 chosen, 4 chosen, etc. My Guess is that you have the 4 titles Selected. If you click the choose... button again, you should be able to select the 1 Title and the others won't be selected. (or at least that is how it appears to work on my database). -
ComicBase Archive Edition 2020 Issues/Questions
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Christopher M. Evans's topic in Tech Support
Just an FYI. CB 2020 was written in a new programming language using a new database. Pretty much a complete re-write of the code. Due to this, not all features or ways of workings of prior program versions could not be implemented (or implemented exactly the same). This is just me saying this (not HC) but as they get more familiar with the programming with the new products some of the old features/ways of doing things may get put back. However, it is possible that some won't. -
The first thing I would try is a Rebuild lists checking Series Information. First you need to decide if it goes in Books, Comic Books, or Magazines (It is best if you switch View to the same as what you are adding but there is a drop-down box to select a different View). Next, are you adding an Item to an existing Title or will the item be in a new title. For a new Item in an existing Title, go to that Title. in the middle of the screen on the right, there is a + and - button. Click on the + to add an Item. This brings up the Item entry window (with the Number incremented). Change and/or fill in any information you want. then click Save. For a New Title and Item, At the Top Right of the window, the second drop-down box from the left (under the Menu Items) is a button with a white + in a black circle, click ad select New Comic Book (or Book or Magazine). This opens a Title window where you enter the New Title (you can also use this to add an Item to an existing Title). Enter the New Title name and click OK button. This bring up the Title entry window. At a minimum, enter the Publisher and any other information you might know then click Save. This brings up the Item entry window. Change/Add information then click save. Either of these methods (there are other ways of doing this) should work and either show the new Item in the existing Title or the New Title with the New Item.

Can you be a little more specific on the steps you are using and what you are trying to do? I assume you are running the Collection Report. What options are you selecting? Not sure what you mean by "including missing titles". Ant that, somehow, 3 titles (which ones?) that you don't expect are showing up. -

Carson of Venus: Realm of the Dead has Item #'s 1/A, 1/B, and 1/C. While Carson of Venus: The Eye of Amtor has Item #'s 1, 1/A, and 1/B (and 2/A, 2/B. and 2/C, 3/A, 3/B, and 3/C). Other American Mythology Titles seem to follow the 1, 1/A, 1/B pattern. This is just a suggestion, but the Realm of the Dead issues could be changed to be consistent (1, 1/A, 1/B, 2, 2/A, 2/B, 3, 3/A. 3/B).

First you have to select an item by clicking on the box to the far left of the row. Once the row is high-lighted, look under menu item Items->Grade Item (or press F8).

No Art Credits on Magazines?
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Doug MedicAR's topic in Content and Corrections
It appears the only Creator credits for Magazines are: Writer, Artist, Cover Artist, Editor They can be added with Setup Columns to View. Just make sure the drop-down box at the top is set to Magazines. -
If you have upgraded to CB 2020 Pro Edition, the missing data should be added with the next weekly update.

It looks like ElfQuest: Stargazer's Hunt is misnamed. Currently it is #3/A. Since there doesn't appear to be any variation, this should be just #3 (to match #1 and #2).

This does sound like a bug to me and I have verified the same problem on my system. As a temporary work-around, check the box by "Display items after saving" on the Add by Barcode window. After you save from that window, a 'find' result will be displayed with all the items you just entered. At this point, you can change the Price (Selling Price) values and they will be saved. (this is a little extra work as you have to go back to the each issue after scanning to make the changes instead of just scanning, change value for the issue in hand.)

In my Archive Edition I only have: Mint MT Near Mint NM Very Fine to Near Mint VF-NM Fine FN Very Good VG Good G Fair FA Poor P <ungraded> and all the various 'slabbed' conditions (i.e. CGC, PGX, and Restored PGX. I will let the folks at HC address how a NM- (Near Mint Minus) is handled when posting to AA as I don't sell and have know knowledge.
-
Just to be clear, the Condition you are setting in CB is a custom value of "NM-" (Near Mint Minus)?

Red highlighted issues...
Steven L. Dasinger replied to David Betancourt's topic in News & General Discussion
There are 3 colors that an issue can have. Red if the Issue has gone up in value Black if the Issue has no change in value Blue if the Issue has gone down in value. -
guidance for issue numbering
Steven L. Dasinger replied to Michael R. Wagner's topic in Tech Support
An Item number is composed of up to 4 items. Type, Issue_Number, Variation, Printing. If all 4 are used it would be: Type Number/Variation-Printing Example using all four: Bk 1/A-2 Not all need to be used. 1 Issue Number only 1/A Issue Number with Variation 1-2 Issue Number with Printing 1/A-2 Issue Number with Variation and Printing 1-2 Issue Number with Printing Bk 1 Type with Issue Number Bk 1/A Type with Issue Number and Variation Bk 1/A-2 Type with Issue Number and Variation and Printing (There are other combinations) Punctuation is: A Space between Type and Issue Number (Bk 1) A Slash between Issue Number and Variation (1/A, 1/HC, etc.) A Dash between Issue Number (or Variation if used) and Printing (1-2, 1/HC-2) -
If you can do an Advanced Find, you can do this. It may take some playing with if you are not used to SQL. For example, with an Advanced Find type this into the Items Where box: I.[Title] = 'Batman' and I.[ItemNumber] = 36 You might want to include I.[QtyInStock] >= 1 for just Issues you own. I.[Title] LIKE '%Batman%' will find any Title that has Batman in it. ItemNumber is composed of different parts, Type, Variation, Issue Number, and Printing. If you just want the Issue Number part I.[IssueNum] = 36 will find Bk 36 , 36/A, 36-HC, 36-2, ect. You can't Add with a Find, however. You can bring it up and change the Qty in Stock, though.
