Lost Data in "Varieties" Column

[crossrh]

I have been entering the word "SCAN" in the Varieties column to let me know that I have scanned my actual stamp.  This morning when I opened SM USA 2021, most, but not all, of the stamps that I made this entry to no longer had the word SCAN.  I backed up the data last night, so I restored that backup, but the word SCAN is still missing.  The default data in the Varieties column is still there.

Is there a way to fix this?  If not, is there a way to tell if I have scanned a stamp into the database?  I know I can look for the StampManageID in the StampImages folder, but that is very time consuming when I'm trying to fix over 5000 stamp entries.

You can use the Status field since it is a unique to each item added to collection (not related to the Stamp Database information like Variety).. It is on the Additional Information tab.

Thanks, AI G.  I noticed after I wrote this post that I could also use the Comment field.  I assume that would achieve the same results as the Status field.

I'd still like to retrieve all the info I seem to have lost.

Hi, I don't think there is a Varieties field in the ADD STAMP dialog.  Are you referring to another field?

If I double-click in the Varieties column for the stamp I'm entering/editing, I can change/add text in that field.  It's not a drop-down or text entry box.  The only problem with that is it changes the Varieties data for all entries of that stamp, like a coil single and a coil pair of the same stamp.

But I'm changing my Evil Ways and using the Comments section in the Additional Info tab, as suggested by Al G.
