Alan Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 There is a field in the database labelled "Type" that does not appear to be mapped into any field in the Report Generator. In the "Item Detail" report, "Type" is actually the contents of the "Description" field. I would like to include this field in a report but it does not seem possible. The data in the "Type" field does not appear in any of the pre-prepared reports included with StampManange USA. Does anyone have a workaround to this problem?

Guest Colin Pattrick Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 "Type" contents includes:- Illustration Number of Scott Catalogue, Illustration Blocks/Sheets/Pairs....etc Colour of stamps Surcharges/Overprints......etc Watermarks Description Fields Plus other's The Field "Type" contains so many different uses that it most probably useless, in database terms. Should be erased, to include it within the SM database would create much confusion. Colin ColinATcolinpattrickDOTcom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 I agree with your conclusion...the data in the "Type" field provided with the database includes everything under the sun, as you have mentioned; there is no consistency. I have abandoned my attempt to use this field. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
