After adding new varieties in STAMP DATAMANAGER, when I click the close button, DATAMANAGER closes without updating the value table.  I had to go to the data folder and update the values manually

Updates do overwrite your Database. I make a backup of mine before I install the update, then restore my stampdata.mdb

This is a problem with this software.  What I do is get the database the way I want it, then when an update is available, I backup the stampdata .mdb, install the update, the restore my stampdata.mdb file.  this solves the problem of inconsistant data

Look for the field Stamp Type.

This is more trouble than its worth.  Some people submit changes that match their collections and not the correct catalog info.  Example, their own catalog numbers, or varieties that dont exist in the catalog. It always creates an unnecessary editing problem. I always copy my own stampdata.mdb file before an update, then copy it back to the data folder. My opinion is that liberty street should do away with this option  

Simply type it in the format field.  All of the fields in the add a stamp window can be edited

I changed my email address, how do I retrieve my product key for SM USA 2021

Backup or copy the data file first (stampdata.mdb)

I fixed the image buttons and the edit button issues, by uninstalling and reinstalling, but none of the images that I have added show up.  I have the files on my computer but adding them manually to about 5000 stamps is quite a bit of work

The edit button in Stamp Data Manager is also inactive

I just upgraded to Stamp Manage USA 2021 and all of my images are gone.  When I tried to add them through Stamp Data Manager the image buttons are not active.  How do I fix this

I have the same problem.  I want to show a screen shot of a bug that needs fixing in SM USA 2020.  On the data entry form when adding a new stamp to a collection, in the values section along with the values for grades, there is also a choice for face value.  This is random an example is USA Scott 4000

1054c is listed as imperf pair with no value in the Scotts 2020 Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps and Covers.  1054 is the large holes, wet printing and 1054b is large holes dry printing

That is because the values are stored in two different tables.  The individual value is in the value table.  The current value is in the Collection table.  Think of the the Value table and the Stamp Database Table as the Scott Catalog and the Collection table as what it is your collection.  So the current value is the number of stamps that you own times the value in the value table.  The only way I can see to solve your problem is to make 3 entries of 1 stamp each in the collection table and enter your own value if it is not listed Example for a stamp with F/VF centering which is not listed   Hope that makes sense

Why not just make multiple entries for the stamp and add your own value.

OK, I agree.  When entering stamps in the Stamp Data Manager (under the Stamps Text tab) The values are not saved.  This needs to be fixed, or that tab removed.

After you enter new varieties in Stamp Data Manager, click close on the left side of the Stamp Data Manager screen.  This will append the new Stamp Data Manager entries to the default value table.  Then open the StampManage Catalog screen on the left side of the screen and open the Value table should be named something like 2020.  Find the scott numbers that you want and add your values

This bug is also in SM2020 USA

The Add stamp button only adds a stamp to your collection, but that stamp must be listed in the database.  Tp add a new stamp to the database, go to the Tools menu and click on Stamp Data Manager.  To add a value after you've added a new stamp go to Stamp Manage Catalog and choose the values table (2020)

I also noticed this bug.  It would be great if fixed in the next update

Enter 1 in the quantity field, manually type the format (say block of  8

Then in the value field manually enter whatever value you want

When adding stamps, in the format field, simply type in your format (Block of 8 etc)

If the 401 is entered as one record with a quantity of 10, simply double click on it and change the quantity to 9.  Then add one to the other album.  If there are 10 different records, Choose the one you want click on the menu "Actions, Move or copy stamps and move it to the new album.

Just type it in

My data folder has become bloated with files after an upgrade.  What files can be safely deleted?
