Is there any way to preserve the custom reports and data in CM2017 when I install CM2020 and move to another machine?

I am dreading having to move but my old pc died.  Any help would be appreciated.  

Does anyone know how to create a report that is sorted by CoinManage ID?

It would make my life simpler if I could have a report do that. 

I was curious about whether Coin Manage could make a picklist like you described.  So I did a Tools / Search CoinManage Database and put in a date and right clicked on the results and added it to the want list. 

Then I did a Reporting / Want List with Values / and directed it to print preview to see if it worked.  It did. 

The only thing is that it allocated a new CoinManage number to that coin on my want list.  I have deleted the coin from the want list now but based on past experience it doesn't ever use those deleted numbers again.  Is there any way to 'recycle' coinmanage numbers for deleted coins?

I tried editing the coins-standard.lst report.  It has 2 titles one which is the same variable, CoinManage_Report_Title. 

It is doing the same thing when I print it shows Caption Bar in the title area.  When I do into the designer and try and change the text it gives me an error message, The expression you have entered in incorrect.  If left unaltered, you may not be able to print your report. 

If someone knows how to change the value of that variable expression, please tell me.

One is PCGS, one is NGC.  Can't find the other.

I copied the title from the Coins-byYear.lst report into a new report that I created. It is showing CoinManage_Report_Title in the title and it also shows up in the Variables list as the first entry.  When I print the report it shows the title as "Caption Bar".  How do I change the title to print what I want?

Thanks for that video.  It really helped me a lot.  It got me going to not only fix the labels but create my own reports. 

One report related question I have that you might be able to help me on.  I made a report and it is sorted by year correctly. 

I want to make the secondary sort the coinmanageid field but it isn't showing up as one of the sort fields that I can choose as a sort field. 

Is there any way that I can get that field to show up?

I have a few AU53 graded coins that I would like to have a grade for too. 

Is there any way you could add the Coin Manage number to the barcode report.  it is Coin Manage / Reports / Output labels using / CoinBarcode - Avery8160.lbl

I would appreciate it if you could.

I use a Firefox add in called "downthemall!" by Nils Maier

It works well for me to correct those kinds of partial download problems. 

When I open the Coin Manage Setup page / Default Type Grades

there is a message displayed, "Grades to use for Types created in the Types and Varieties manager. 

Do we have access to this manager?  I would like to add a AU53 grade.  Is there a way I can do it?

If you are going to make some changes to the grading scale, you might want to look at changing F-16 to F-15.

Its a cool jet though. 

Hi Paul,

I got the latest update but didn't see any reports that do the following.  Any chance you could create this type of report?

Output report using:  coins-detailed with precious metals content with totals.

Fields Displayed and sorted by:

Coin Manage ID#, Country, Denomination, year, type, Coin manage number, silver content (oz.), gold content (oz.), Cost, Current Value (either bullion value or numismatic whatever is higher),

Report Totals at end of report:

Fields Displayed for totals:

Number of coins, Oz of Silver, Oz of gold, Total cost, Total Value

If this report could be generated by each collection using all of the coins in that collection that would be really great. 

I think there are a few of us out there that could use this report. 

Jim

Hi Paul,

I have been waiting for this update to be released. 

In order to get it you have to go to this page:

http://www.libertystreet.com/forums/coinmanage_downloads.htm

Then download CoinManage trial version:  http://www.libertystreet.com/forums/coinmanage_downloads.htm

It will save as CoinMng2017Deluxe.exe

Then don't uninstall what you have already, just install this over it. 

It should import all of your tables and data once you start it up.

Then it starts your 30 day trial so you would have to activate it within 30 days.

What I did was to download the file, then I backed up my CoinManage Database, then my whole computer, then I installed it.  That way if it messed anything up I could restore my system.  

When I was done with the upgrade I did notice a few Coin Manage database editor entries that were split apart and so duplicated.  I was able to fix those by restoring my CM database file.

Jim

Hi Steve,

The trick is once you are in "Tools / Coin manage database editor" and editing on that entry, for example you are typing in 10 oz silver bar, you tab over until you get to the silver content field.  It is further to the right.  There you enter the exact weight in ozt.  So you put 10 there for your bar.    

Then you go to "Tools / bullion value" and either click on "Get latest spot prices" or enter your own values.  

Once you do both of those things your values should display properly.    

If it was me I wouldn't put "type" under the year field.  I would put some useful info there that you want displayed.  

Jim

Thanks for making the best coin inventory software out there. 

Had a problem trying to move a coin.  It was a sovereign and I was trying to move it from one collection to another.  Once I moved it I could not change the price.     

I ended up having to delete it and type it in the new collection.  I have more coins to move and I don't want to have to keep deleting them and entering them back in.  Do you have any ideas why the program won't let me edit them after moving?

thanks,

Jim

That would be awesome. 

Yes, I have had this error too on certain reports.  I have just been ignoring those reports and using others.

Wish List: 

Output report using:  coins-detailed with precious metals content with totals.

Fields Displayed and sorted by:

Country, Denomination, year, type, Coin manage number, silver content (oz.), gold content (oz.), Cost, Current Value (either bullion value or numismatic whatever is higher),

Report Totals at end of report:

Fields Displayed:

Number of coins, Oz of Silver, Oz of gold, Total cost, Total Value

If this report could be generated by each collection using all of the coins in that collection that would be really great. 

I am personally ok with a report that shows the highest value only whether it be numismatic or bullion value.  But what I really need is a report that shows the total ounces of gold and silver in my collection.  I have the information added in each coin or bullion bar in my collection but it is frustrating that I cannot get a report that totals them up.  Instead I have to use a different coin inventory software program just to give me those figures. 

Am I the only one that wants to see the total ounces of gold and silver in my collection?

Are you stacking up open windows when you open coins?

I am trying run some reports based on the Coin Manage Inventory Numbers.

The only report I can find that uses these numbers is the

Output Reports Using / Coins - DetailedWithBarcode.lst

This is a brilliant report as it include photos of the coin and relevant information. Is there anyone who has used the barcodes by scanning them?

Is there a way to scan the barcodes and bring up information about the coin?

I noticed a lot of the reports that are available have quantity fields in them. It would be great for people like myself who only have 1 coin per entry to have reports made replacing the quantity field with the CM number field.

It would be nice too to have a collection checklist by item number report.

I would really love to see a report that list all of the entries in a specific collection with fields added for the actual gold weight (agw) or actual silver weight (asw) and which shows the total agw and asw for each collection. That way it could be determined what portion of the value of the collection is bullion value and which portion is numismatic value.

Perhaps it would be easy to copy and modify one of the existing reports like the

Output Reports Using / Coins - Standard - 2.lst and take away the comments field and add the agw, asw and inventory number fields instead.

If anyone can help with any of these things it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Jim

Just wanted to mention about the Clone icon just to the left of the paper clip. Not sure if you were using it or not but it is a really handy tool when you are adding multiple instances of the same item.

Thanks Garlin, I never knew there was a recycle bin. I'll try and recycle the numbers. That should be the go.

Jim

Hi Bacon Slayer,

That is a good idea for my world coins to use the NGC World Coin Price Guide. I forgot about that. I was going to use the Krause guide and I still might compare the 2 prices but you have a good way to do it. Thanks for the feedback.
