ComicBase 11 Updaters
Adds compatibility with Windows Vista, plus support for Atomic Avenue. Adds support for PGX and restored CGC grades (requires a reset of your conditions to see these new grades), Also adds one major feature: the ability to “normalize conditions” of books when selling so that half-graded books (e.g. VF+) automatically get posted to Atomic Avenue as the next lowest full grade (e.g. VF), with note of the original grade made in the item’s notes, and the original selling price preserved.
This version also uses a more “Vista-friendly” set of locations for storing its various files. As an update to a previous install of ComicBase 11, this is evident only in a change to the default locations of pictures, databases, etc. It should automatically pick up on the current locations of these files if 11 has already been installed and use them where they stand.
ComicBase Express Update 11.1 (2.73 MB)
Adds compatibility with Windows Vista, plus support for Atomic Avenue.
ComicBase 10 Updaters
ComicBase 10.1 Update (7.27 MB)
Adds support for Atomic Avenue.
Report Engine Update
This is a set of fixes to the Crystal Reports print engine used by ComicBase, released by Crystal’s publisher, Business Objects. If you’re experiencing trouble when printing (crashes, weird behavior, etc.), try downloading and installing this updater. It does seem to fix a problem we’ve seen on some systems which causes ComicBase to shut down when printing price labels or comic identification labels.

ComicBase
9.0.4 Update (22.6 MB)
Speeds up ComicBase Statistics, fixes
a few assorted bugs, and improves Updater checking. See the Update
Notes for the full list of changes.
ComicBase
8.0.4 (Windows) Update (6.5 MB)
Adds command key shortcuts for text
styles, and automatically reformats pasted title descriptions
to match ComicBase style. Fixes a couple of glitches in the initial
release, and adds new features suggested by customers at the
ComicBase
User's Group meeting in San Diego. Notably, issues you own are
now highlighted in green, making them much easier to see in the
lists.

Picture Installer 3.0.2 (930 K)
*Only used by
ComicBase 7 and earlier. ComicBase 8 users should use the File
Menu's Manage Pictures and Movies command instead of the old Picture
Installer program.
This utility copies files from the ComicBase CD
and Bonus Disks to your hard drive so ComicBase can be run without
having the CDs inserted. Replaces v3.0 (from the initial release
of ComicBase 7) which would not always copy Image and Dark Horse
pictures properly. If you are having trouble viewing Dark Horse
or Image pictures from within ComicBase 7, try downloading this
version of the installer and using it to reinstall the pictures
from your ComicBase 7 Program Disk and/or Bonus Disk 2. ComicBase
7.0.1's new Manage Pictures command will also work for putting
any misplaced pictures in the proper location.
Note to Windows XP users: If you have problems
with the program seeming to stall while copying, chances are
good that it's still working, but that the progress bar is not
being updated. This appears to be a conflict between Windows
XP and the development environment the Picture installer was
written in, and we are seeking a solution. In the meantime,
please give the program time to complete, or try running it
under Windows 2000 compatibility mode by right-clicking on the
Picture Installer icon and choosing "Compatibility" from
the Properties menu that appears.
ComicBase
7.0.4 (Windows) Update (19.6 MB)
Includes various bug fixes, as well
as adding new features such as a "Manage Pictures" command
which automagically reorganizes your Pictures folder, resolving
file names, adding file extensions, and more. It also includes
lots of small improvements to everything from more detailed
ad posting, to automatic incrementing of cover dates when you
add new issues.
Sadly, this version also disables
the "Sell Comics" feature, since eBay has changed their
software in such a way that it makes it virtually impossible for
third-party programs such as ComicBase to post ads to their site.
eBay has, however, released new posting tools of their own (PC
only). See www.ebay.com for details.
Recommended for all users. Get the ComicBase
7 Reports Update as well, which lets you select whether
cost is included on Basic and Detailed Price List reports

with all versions of Comic Collector (including Comic Collector 1.0!),

the full details on this program.
ComicBase
5.0.5 (Win) Updater (3.56 MB)

when importing and exporting. Also fixes a problem importing/exporting
custom fields whose names are very long. Also adds an assortment of bug
fixes and new features to ComicBase, including revised reports, new keyboard
shortcuts, and various program changes. The updater contains a full list
of changes.
ComicBase
4.0.5 (Win) Updater (1.2 MB)
Note: Same as ComicBase 4.0.4, except it
now gives a better message when asking if you're upgrading from ComicBase
3, when first using the new program. The updated version will still
bear the version number "4.0.4"
Works with ComicBase 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, or 4.0.4.
Adds a "Duplicate" button to Modify Issues, includes several small bug
fixes, and cosmetic changes. See the ComicBase
4.0.4 release notes for the full list of changes. Uses a new updating
technology from MindVision which allows it to automatically detect the
version of ComicBase you have installed and do the appropriate updating.
VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure
you download and install the ComicBase
4 System Files Update if you are updating to ComicBase 4.0.4 or later
from a previous version. If you have installed ComicBase 4.0.4 or later
from the CD, you do not need to run the system files update.
ComicBase
4 Reports Updater (76 K)
Previously included with the ComicBase 4.0.1
and 4.0.2 updaters. Not necessary if you've already run the reports updater
as part of those updates.
Updates the ComicBase Price List report to fix a bug
on the price list report which repeated the Year 1 price as Year 4 when
generating a detailed price list report.
ComicBase
3.1 (Win) Update (1.7 MB)
This is special-purpose update for people
who wish to use their ComicBase 3 after ComicBase 4 (or its demo) has
been installed. This update is necessary since several system files
needed for ComicBase 4 are incompatible with previous versions of ComicBase.
The update also fixes movie play with Windows 98.

entered issue numbers, and a fix to the auto-issue update introduced
in the last build.
ComicBase
3.0.3 (Win) Update (1.3 MB)
Adds in many new features such as foreign
currency conversion; improves issue entry, importing and finding
comics; and fixes a few key bugs. Recommended for all users. Full
