Guest Peter Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I've had problems adding stamps to certain countries for years now. Malaya and Malaysia are two examples that are affected. Here is the scenario: I wished to add Scott #46 to Negri Sembilan under Malaya-Federated Malay States. There were no stamps listed here and attempting to add one directly resulted in an error. Creating this item through Tools/Stamp Data Manager then adding it to the collection appears successful. However if you then view #46 under general issues you now see the correct description as Tiger but with the new image for Negri Sembilan instead of the original. Exit the application and restart then view in general issues, #46 now appears twice, both with the new, incorrect, image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colin Pattrick Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 The Country Names for Malaya and Malaysia are confusing. I took the Stamp Manage Name and Renamed it to avoid confusion:- Ctry + Type SM Country Name My CountryName Description CountryID TypeID Malaya, Federation Malaya - Federated Malay States (Scott 1 to 79) GENERAL ISSUE 614 29903 Malaya-Federated Malay States Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ GENERAL ISSUE 615 21447 Malaya-Federated Malay States Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ (2N) Occupation Under Thailand 615 58850 Malaya-Federated Malay States Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ (J) Postage Due 615 49670 Malaya-Federated Malay States Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ (N) Occupation under Japanese 615 58848 Malaya-Federated Malay States Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ (NJ) Occupation under Japanese - Postage Due 615 58849 Malaya - Johore Malaya State - Johore (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott,1-168)&(169-196) 51 21454 Malaya - Johore Malaya State - Johore (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (J) Postage Due 51 58851 Malaya - Johore Malaya State - Johore (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (NJ) Occupation Postage Due 51 58853 Malaya - Kedah Malaya State - Kedah (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-105)&(106-136) 57 21457 Malaya - Kedah Malaya State - Kedah (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (N1) Occupation by Japan 57 58854 Malaya - Kelantan Malaya State - Kelantan (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-90)(91-124) 58 21470 Malaysia - Malacca (Melaka) Malaya State - Malacca (Melaka)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-66)(67-94) 611 21472 Malaysia - Malacca (Melaka) Malaya State - Malacca (Melaka)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (N) Occupation by Japan 611 58856 Malaysia - Malacca (Melaka) Malaya State - Malacca (Melaka)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (NJ) Occupation by Japan - Postage Due 611 58857 Malaya - Negri Sembilan Malaya State - Negri Sembilan (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-75)(76-109) 674 21463 Malaya - Negri Sembilan Malaya State - Negri Sembilan (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (N) Occupation by Japan 674 58858 Malaya - Pahang Malaya State - Pahang (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-82)(83-118) 737 21473 Malaya - Pahang Malaya State - Pahang (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (N) Occupation by Japan 737 58859 Malaya - Penang (Pulau Pinang) Malaya State - Penang (Pulau Pinang)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-66)(67-94) 752 21474 Malaya - Penang (Pulau Pinang) Malaya State - Penang (Pulau Pinang)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (N) Occupation by Japan 752 58860 Malaya - Perak Malaya State - Perak (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-137)(138-166) 754 21465 Malaya - Perak Malaya State - Perak (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (N) Occupation by Japan 754 20999 Malaya - Perak Malaya State - Perak (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (O) Official Stamps 754 58037 Malaya - Perlis Malaya State - Perlis (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-39)(40-76) 755 21476 Malaysia - Sabah Malaya State - Sabah (Malaysia only) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-45) 121 58042 Malaya - Selangor Malaya State - Selengor (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-120)(121-148) 158 21468 Malaya - Selangor Malaya State - Selengor (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (N) Occupation by Japan 158 58861 Malaya - Sungei Ujong Malaya State - Sungei Ujong (Malaya Federation only) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-36) 217 28924 Malaya - Trengganu Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-85)(86-119) 263 58047 Malaya - Trengganu Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (B) Semi-Postal 263 53997 Malaya - Trengganu Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (J) Postage Due 263 58862 Malaya - Trengganu Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (N) Occupation by Japan 263 58863 Malaya - Trengganu Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) (NJ) Occupation by Japan - Postage Due 263 58864 Malaysia - Wilayah Persekutuan Malaya State - Wilaya Persekutuan (Malaysia only) GENERAL ISSUE (Scott 1-7) 319 58879 Malaysia Malaysia (Scott 1 to 1183+) GENERAL ISSUE 616 21124 Malaysia Malaysia (Scott 1 to 1183+) (J) Postage Due 616 58865 Found a lot of SM errors in this section. Hope the above listing helps. Peter, you cannot add Negri Sembilan under Malaya-Federated Malay States as it needs to be placed under a seperate CountryID.

Guest Peter Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Clearly this is an area that has caused widespread confusion. I never expected that each state would have its own standalone country entry. This explains why the main headings, Malaya and Malaysia, are in such a mess. Thanks for your help.

Guest Colin Pattrick Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Needed the major rehash of these two countries. Hence the renaming of the descriptions. Then I could start adding Records to Database & Images :- Countries/Images CountryName NumberImages Malaya - Federation of Malaya (Scott 80 to 115+ 86 Malaya State - Johore (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 144 Malaya State - Kedah (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 117 Malaya State - Kelantan (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 122 Malaya State - Malacca (Melaka)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 94 Malaya State - Negri Sembilan (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 112 Malaya State - Pahang (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 105 Malaya State - Penang (Pulau Pinang)(Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 94 Malaya State - Perak (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 110 Malaya State - Perlis (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 76 Malaya State - Sabah (Malaysia only) 44 Malaya State - Selengor (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 68 Malaya State - Sungei Ujong (Malaya Federation only) 14 Malaya State - Trengganu (Malaya Federation & Malaysia) 94 Malaya State - Wilaya Persekutuan (Malaysia only) 7 Malaysia (Scott 1 to 1183+) 1168 Wait till you start on Great Britain Machins & Regionals! if you want a headache.
