Sorry about the long delay so I will try to keep it short. After several uninstall and re-installs I reinstalled it over the existing installation that did not work correctly and it functioned almost 100%. I backed everything up and bought a new computer with windows 10 and installed it on it(Acer) and it worked correctly but within a few days the computer malfunctioned and Acer customer service was less than satisfactory so I took it back and got a Lenovo. I installed the software on the new computer yesterday and got an error message upon boot-up that I did not receive on the Acer. It is; {The Microsoft jet database cannot open the file "C:\program files (x86)\StampManage\Data\STAMPDATA.MDB.' It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.}
A list of possible fixes followed. It is not a "read only" file, it is not locked. I also installed it under "This PC" in the document file in addition to it being in the StampManage folder in the DATA folder.
I do have Apache Open Office instead of Microsoft Office but this should not be a problem should it? I just found another file in One Drive by selecting the "NO" option and looking for it in another file. It selected a file called "This PC\windows (C:)\USERS\rlkni\documents and the program loaded but not all of the sub categories in the "United States" Display properly.
"Air Mail" starts at C126 then C125a then C1 and now is working correctly after looking at the other listings which displayed correctly(Special Delivery, Special Handling, Semi-Postal, Postage Due. That makes no sense.
None of my images appear in the listings.
This windows 10 with the files in multiple places is driving me nuts.
1/19/2016 5:33 I just found(while trying to understand/learn) that when StampManage is loaded, there is an LDB file that is read only and cannot be deleted. It disappears when I close StampManage. I did manage to move the COLLECTION STAMP IMAGES into the correct folder and that all works now.
The program will not copy and paste an image from a scan I have made into the data base. It goes through straightening and cropping but the copy and paste does not function at. This is the only problem I now have. The original problem was with XP I guess and the new computer appears to be the fix.
Please advise on this new problem. Thanks.
AFTER READING THROUGH OTHER POSTS AND THE PRINTED 2014 GUIDE I RAN ACROSS THE "Run as Administrator" REFERENCE TO WINDOWS 10. DID THE RIGHT CLICK, SELECTED "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" AND NOW THE PICTURES ARE BEING PASTED(ADDED) TO MY COLLECTION IMAGES. THIS PROBLEM IS SOLVED.
A new problem cropped up. When I tried to activate the program on the new computer it says it is already in use. I forgot to de-activate the 2nd program on the new computer that I returned when I got this one. Can you fix this? the code is 2X8B-THMH-3ET5-REE5-Q79M-EKMA-AETA and is only on one computer now.
Thanks.
