Hi guys. I'm a very frustrated former user of this program that doesn't want to give it up. I have over 300K cards entered into it and just found out last week the bastards at Beckett killed it. I used to make sets for CPP and send them in and they would include them in the updates. Now I can't seem to figure out how to place them in the database. Is anyone doing this? Could someone help me with this? Is there any other programs that are used like the CPP. I dread entering all those cards again. Thanks for any help. Joe

i still use it today... it serves as my backup for here in case anything should ever happen. Beckett actually killed it back in spring of 2015. unforunatly there isnt a way to transfer that data to here. Glad to see there is at least 1 other person keeping that program going... PM me if you ever need any help with it.

I used the program from the beginning. I would still be using it if not for the people at Beckett who wrote me back after I complained about not having some of the sets I submitted entered into the DB. There reason I was not a subscriber and thoe people had priority. Great program and I do not believe you can input into here. But you might be able to add sets indivudually.

I had used it for years unitl I had a computer crash and my backup was corrupted. I have been using Beckett OPG since. It is painful to think of how much work it is to transfer a complete inventory from one database to another. I feel stuck with Beckett now based on the time I have put into it. Have been adding to the database here and at sport card forum, but it seems like a never ending task. I now use an excel spreadsheet for my backup, which I back up to mutliple devices to avoid losing my data again.

I'm trying to find a computer guy who can figure out how to add the txt file once it's created. You can use excel to create sets in no time at all then convert to txt and your done. The problem is i can't find where in the main program these files are stored and i need a computer guy (cause I'm not ) to figure it out. This program is so good and i hate Beckett for killing it. I talked to them yesterday and they were so rude and couldn't be bothered with me even though I've been a member for years.
