Error Unhandled Exception when getting updates

[Craig A. Guerin]

Hi 

I keep getting this message when adding issues or getting updates.

I went to restore lists but it only fixed the first issue but not the second.

 

Thanks

[Craig A. Guerin]

It looks like my database has custom date 1, custom date 2 = 31/12/1899 which is causing this error. Any ideas how to delete it?

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Download the latest build (#3232) from My Account > Registrations, then do a File > File Tools > Rebuild Lists / Item Information. If you still have trouble after that, please contact support directly at support@comicbase.com

 

[Peter R. Bickford]

I think we just found the issue—download v3246 (under My Account > Registrations) and see if it doesn’t fix things for you.

 

Best,

-Pete

Just updated to the latest version and am now getting the error below when I check for updates.

 

[Mark J. Castaneda]

you're using build 3246? Not getting the trouble on my end.

Does the error occur right after you click the 'Check for Updates' option? Or do you have specific update options selected that may cause this (feel free to screenshot your options)?

*try going into the File Menu>File Tools and run the Optimize Database AND Rebuild Lists (Series info & Item Info options) and see if that helps; try to update afterwards.

[Jeff Chahal]

Did the selections from the Tools menu and still getting the same error, it happens as soon as a I hit the 'Check for Updates' button and yes it's version 3246. Screen shot below is from after following the instructions above.

 

[Mark J. Castaneda]

20.0.2.3250 is available which is addresses this date problem. download/install it from your online account here: https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Registrations.aspx

Let us know how you make out.

[Craig A. Guerin]

All fixed with the new version - Thanks so much Mark and Pete. Love this database can't imagine ever not using it.
