Ok I apologize if this is out there somewhere already. I searched and didn't see much, so...   I am new to the site here and have recently rekindled the interest in trading cards. 

As I'm starting to enter cards a few of the first sets I went to enter (on the top of the stack!) don't have a checklist shown In the database.  The sets are listed in title as being sets out there but when I click on it no checklist is available.  

I followed the the instructions to submit the checklist on excel and kept getting it kicked back as over 100kb spreadsheet.  

How am I to lower the spreadsheet KB under 100 when there is what seems to be very minimal information in there already except number/name/team?

Thanks for any suggestions or if I'm missing something else here.  

How many cards are in this checklist?  Are there any other tabs/sheets with data in the same file?

Thank you for the suggestion.  You are right there are the two other blank worksheets that come up when starting a new file.  No data on them but sheets are there.  I will delete those and see if that makes a difference - hoping so. These are all minor league hockey team sets so between 25-30 cards each. I feel I may be doing something else wrong but not sure what.  It's not like it's a huge set of several hundred cards. 

Welcome to the Database! Text files should be no problem, I've uploaded in excess of 2000 of them. Do you have scans in the checklist file? If so, that would be the problem.

Thank you - I'm am still learning how everything is laid out on the site and what everything means, but enjoying all the information on it for sure.

I didn't add any of the card scans or anything to the file.  I'll keep giving it a go with trial and error.  

Goalie for an avatar, must be a gooder, lets keep him. Hahahaha! Welcome to the site and don't get overwhelmed as there is a ton to learn, and that much more to enjoy. =)

ntlwhlr - See my ID here? E-mail me using that id at gmail and I'll look over the file. I've troubleshot others' files and been successful at finding the problems and helping them with their checklist uploads.

Thanks All!  Vrooomed, I emailed you one of them.  Thanks.

Check your e-mail - I replied.

For anyone else who may be wanting to upload a checklist, but isn't sure, the best advice I can give you is just keep the file as simple as can be. I actually don't even use headers in my files when I upload checklists. My first row is the first card in the set.

I also open up that offer to anyone else having trouble uploading their checklists. E-mail me a copy of it, and I'll let you know why it isn't working. (Or at least try to.) Just drop me a note here when you do so I know to go and look. Thanks.

I'm ready to upload my first checklist, but I wanted to make sure of something before submitting. It's a small 5-card subset to 2015 Sportkings. The name of the set in the database is wrong. It's shown as "2015 Sport Kings ..." when the official name should be "2015 Sportkings...". Does that need to be corrected first? Or, will me adding the checklist to the Dynasty Kings Memorabilia not affect any correction needed to the name of the base set?
