  1. dickelliott -- I have been using the method you mention above regarding multiple entries of the same stamp. In the process, I have noticed mistakes in what I input. However, when I try to correct the problem after I have put it in the DataManager, I have found I am unable to change the original entry. What happens is the new data is placed in DataManager and the old entry is maintained. I would prefer to remove the old entry, but cannot find a way of deleting it permanently from DataManager. Is there a way to do it? Or am I stuck with the old entries that will be ignored?
  2. erthur -- Thanks for reply. I shall try that convention as it seems to work as shown by dickelliott's post. I do have a question about it before I try using this process. When I attempted to enter 11-1 (or something similar to that a while back), my database got all messed up after I applied that convention. Images of my original #11 were changed to those of the new entry and changing the image back to the original, changed the new entry. It was driving me up a wall. I ended up restoring a slightly older backup and forgoing my attempt to add multiple entries until I had a better grip on how to do it. What I did was change the Scott number in box on the add window and I believe that is where I messed everything up. When I use the 11.07 convention, where do I place the new number? Do I change it from the Add Stamp window or do I need to make a Data Manager list such as that dickelliott did? Dickelliott -- I looked over your additions to the 3c Washingtons and there are a few I can use. I appreciate your reply, but I am looking more for the ability to include items with special postmarks of very colors and include a photo of that particular stamp. Can I use the minor varieties listing you uploaded, but change pertinent information for my use? Thanks for the replies. It seems the older I get, the more difficult it is figure out what used to be programs I easily understood. Lauren Sobkoviak, aka Ashrunner, Redmond, Oregon
  3. I have started adding varieties of various stamps to my collection. I began by adding the various Scott #11s which I have. These are stamps which have different color and/or postmarks, and are plated. When I type in 11 in the add stamp window and fill in the information, I then add the picture of the stamp and try to go on to the next stamp. However, the new entry overwrites the previous entry and I don't have a second entry. I have tried renaming the Scott number to something like 11A-1 and if the program accepts the new entry, it is not found anywhere near the other Scott 11 in the database. I find it at the end of the entire database and have not figured out how to have it show with the other 11. I have renamed the stamp to 11A - 1 and the same thing happens. I have 121 varieties of Scott 10, 10A, 11 and 11A which I would like to include in my inventory and have them show in their proper place and not at the end of the database. I did notice the Edit Variety Information when I right click on the main stamp. That has caused numerous problems which I made me thankful for the backup file. Also, if I figure out how to properly add a variety using that portion of the program, doing that for each variety of stamp I have (and I have many, many others not just 10, 10A, 11 and 11A stamps) would be very time consuming and then I would have to enter the information of the stamp after I have created the new variety. Is there an easier way to include non-catalog listed varieties, postmarks, various double transfers, cracked plates and other minor errors other than the only way I have found which seems to work sometimes as mentioned in the paragraph above? Thanks in advance for any help. Lauren Sobkoviak, aka Ashrunner, Redmond, Oregon
  4. I solved the problem by uninstalling the initial installation, reinstalling the main program and then the update. The program began as it should and I installed my backup dbase.
  5. Several weeks ago, I updated my StampManageUSA with the most recent update. I installed the update with no problem and after starting the program for the first time after the update, the program unpacked several files before entering the program. I assumed this was normal and thought nothing of it. The next time I started the program, the same thing happened. Now, each time I start the program by double clicking on the icon, the program unpacks three or four files before going to the opening screen. Attached is a screen grab of the first file the program unpacks. Is there anything I can do to stop the continual unpacking?
