Still being relatively new to using CoinManage, I'm a little confused with "terminology" for lack of a better word. What is the differences between a variety and a sub-variety. I can't find anything about it in the help file except "hide sub-varieties). I have the 2023 Britannia w/ King Charles III, I don't know if that would be a variety or sub-variety without knowing which one it would actually be.
Thanks

Looking to add stamps from China Shanghai late 1800. Any recommendations?
Thanks

@admin - Thanks for ensuring this was fixed in the update. Just went through adding the Scotts Values for several Romanian stamps, and added the Scott's Variety # without issue. I just have to remember to switch between stamps before saving out of the Data Manager. If i update a single stamp value without switching to another stamp the update to the single stamp is not saved.
Thanks,
Jeff

Any luck reproducing the issue. Additionally since i clicked on the 'upload changes' button within the data manager it seems to be recalculating all stamps like it used to a few versions back
Other functionality is still working without issue, at least of the features I have used.

Having the exact same problem ... any news on this ??? Cannot add stamp info to the DB namely stamp values.
Just raised a ticket to the support team.

how to rebuild DB/index or ?

Is there any ETA on a new version of HM for 2023?
 
Gees, it looks like the last upgrade I got was in September 2021 for Version 2022. 
 
Will there be any upgrades coming?
 
 

I have Microsft Access Database. Would that be an issue?
The default app for .mdb is Access.
Also got a CRC error early in install. I ignored.
 

Purchased today and installed.
First use.
See images.

Hi-level answer: If you are scanning your stamps outside of StampManage, save them to your image folder. You will be importing them within the app, this will ensure they get placed in the appropriate StampManage folder.
Multiple approaches:
Initiate the scan directly from within StampManage Open the stamp properties of the desired stamp from your collection Click on Picture tab from the upper right corner where 'Scanner/Digital Camera' is located click on select source and ensure your scanner is selected Click on 'Acquire Image' Note: I had to close and reopen the stamp properties after completing the 'Selecting Source' step After Image appears within the Stamp Properties Pictures tab, continue to add photos (up to 4 based on the UI) Click on OK to save your changes Your photo(s) that were scanned will be stored in your 'Collection Stamp Images Directory' Scan externally using your favorite app and store where you wish. From within StampManage open the stamp properties of the desired stamp Click on Picture tab Click on Import, locate the image you scanned/saved of the stamp and click on Open to import the image (this will copy the photo to your 'Collection Stamp Images Directory' Click on OK to save your changes You can also just copy a photo of the stamp from a web page and then leverage  the 'Clipboard'-->'Paste' feature found on the Pictures tab. This will also store the photo in the 'Collection Stamp Images Directory'

when I scan a stamp should it go into Stamp Manage Image folder or into my Image folder.   I have quite a few in my image folder should I move these over to the other folder.🤔

Your latest email says you now need to know how to set grades for a type.  Here is a video on that subject:
 
Here is the link to a video showing how to add coins from new countries:
 

I'm kind of befuddled here. I know how to add a country not currently in the database as well as adding new coins within that country. What I can't figure out, nor find any information is the grading area of the database (for the new coins for the new country). How do I populate that?

how to increase

Thank you Cliff

I just began collecting Canada. How do I enter this Stamp: FCF4

You can use the Stamp Data Manager.   Select New Category, then click on Canada and enter the new category 'Canada Consular Fee'.  Continue by selecting the Stamp tab and enter your new stamp data.

I recently reinstalled Deluxe 23.  Now every time I open the app, it goes through the "update data"
routine.  Is it possible to turn this off?

Running Stamp Manage Deluxe 2023, after the latest update
I can still get into the Stamp Data Manager, Can select  and update from the 'Stamp - Image' tab Cannot select entries or edit within 'Stamps - Text' when i head into that area I get the following dialog box popping up ~4x and each time I attempt to click on an entry it pops up another 2x

Please advise. I was working on expanding some details and adding/updating records in Romania
Thanks,
Jeff

Is there any guidance on scanning.  I have lots of coins and when the scanning works --- it is great.  But for some reason - it is like PCGS changed bar codes types for different years.  Some time scan works great - other times I get an extra zero or the number scans right but I get a message that the number does not exist.   Someone must know something to help ....maybe ?

I upgraded from CoinManage Deluxe 2022 to CoinManage USA 2023 and the upgrade was installed successfully.
When I attempt to start the program a "Welcome to CoinMange USA 2023 screen" appears with a button to "Activate purchased activation code". When selected the screen changes to "Activation successful" with no place to enter my new activation code.
Instead there is a "Finish" button and when it is selected the program closes and I am back at the main windows screen.
I'm sure I made a mistake and should have purchased CoinManage Deluxe 2023 but how do I fix this?
 

Since I downloaded the April update, I am now unable to run and get any report from the program. I'm not sure what happened, but I need to run and have access to certain reports.
I've tried running every report as well as trying to create a custom report and nothing works. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

My apologies.  What happenened is the company that hosts our licensing server had serious downtime for days.  Many orders did not get an automated reply with activation code... so we have been going through many orders manually.  
I believe we have found your email and repliled with the download link and code.

Hi currently there is not a way to do this.  We will have a coinmanage database editor in the future as we have in the Windows version. 
There will be a free update in the next few weeks with many new values and listings for recent issues.

Yes Cliff is correct.  We have added CTO to the defaults in the dropdown.  It will be in the next update for the 2023 version, out by the end of March 2023
