<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";">If you are getting the error "This file can not be modified." when attempting to accept the license agreement then most likely you have installed the program into the wrong location on your hard drive.</span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">By default the My Art Collection installer will install to your Documents Folder due to a security feature that Windows has that coverts all data files in the Programs folder to Read Only. Since My Art Collection requires a data file to be inside the application folder we require that you install the program outside o the Programs folder. </span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">To solve the problem please uninstall My Art Collection and reinstall the software and leave the default installation location to Documents. </span></div>

<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="font-family: Helvetica;">
If you are getting the error that "This file can not be modified." then most likely you are attempting to open the program from the installer and not from your hard drive. The installer is read only and thus will give you this error. To make sure that you are opening the program from the correct location on your computer please review the instructions below and see if after following these the error is resolved. Please ignore the version numbers on these instructions as they may or may not be same as you have. </div>

<div class="">
2. Once the installer is open please drag the folder on the left to the Applications folder on the right. This will install the program. </div>
<div class="">
<br /></div>
<div class="">
3. Once you have done that please click the Red button in the upper left hand corner of this screen to close the screen.</div>
<div class="">

<br />
My Art Collection Professional now has the ability to work with your collection file on an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad using the Free FileMaker Go 18 app. Please download the FileMaker Go 18 app on each iOS device before continuing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Transferring Files</b><br />
<br />
<br />
Important: When you transfer a file to your device, you are creating a copy of the original file. Data changes made on your device are not synchronized to the original file, and vice versa. You will need to transfer the file back to the computer and use My Art Collection Professional to import data to the original file in order to update data. To do this use the File/Import from My Art Collection 2.0/3.0 feature. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: red;">Routine backups are strongly recommended for any document stored on a computer or iOS device.</span></i></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>There are several ways to transfer a file: </b><br />
1. Connect the device to iTunes with a USB cable and transfer files on or off (see the steps below).<br />
2. Send a MyArt.fmp12 file via email to your device's Mail app (on the iPhone, touch and hold on the file for a few seconds and then select Open in FileMaker Go from the menu that pops up).<br />
3. Host a MyArt.fmp12 file on a web server (including personal web sharing), connect to it with your device's Safari app, and select it to transfer it to FileMaker Go.<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition, other iPhone and iPad apps that support launch services might support FileMaker Go.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Important: Close a file before transferring it. </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>To transfer files to your device using iTunes: </b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Connect your device to your computer.</li>
<li>In iTunes, select your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad device, then click the Apps tab.</li>
<li>Below File Sharing, select FileMaker Go from the Apps list, then click Add.</li>
<li>Select the MyArt.fmp12 collection files to transfer, then click Open.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<br />
The MyArt.fmp12 files are copied to your device. NOTE: make sure that the .fmp12 is on the file name. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>To transfer files from the device to your computer using iTunes: </b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Connect your device to your computer.</li>
<li>In iTunes, select your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad device, then click the Apps tab.</li>
<li>Below File Sharing, select FileMaker Go from the Apps list (make sure that the file is not open in FileMaker Go).</li>
<li>From the list on the right, select the files you want to transfer, then click “Save to.”</li>
<li>Select the destination where you want to copy the files, then click Open.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<br />
The FileMaker Pro files are copied from your device to your computer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Notes: </b><br />
Wait for any lengthy file operations to complete before closing a transferred file on your device. For example, if you tap the Home button when a progress dialog is being displayed, you will corrupt the file, making it difficult to open when you transfer it back to the desktop. <br />
To transfer a file with container fields that store data externally to your device, you must first embed the container field data. To do this, in My Art Collection Professional, use the Save a Copy As command and choose "self-contained copy (single file)." Then transfer the copy. <br />
Secure (encrypted) container field data is no longer encrypted after it has been embedded. <br />
<br />

My Art Collection will colorize line items based on their status. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Red</span> means that the item's status is set as sold, <span style="color: #38761d;">Green</span> means the item's status is set to On Loan, <span style="color: #b45f06;">Orange</span> means it is set to Stored and Black means the item's status is set to displayed. This is handy for being able to tell at a glance the status of each line item in your collection when are scrolling. </div>

<b>Adding One New Record at a Time</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
When you first begin using <i>My Art Collection</i> 3.0 you will want to create new records for your collection. There are two ways of doing this.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px;">

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
Creating a new record is easy to do. From either the List or Detail layouts click the "New Record" button to create a new record. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
<b>Step 2: Enter Item Details for the Overview Tab</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 12px;">
Enter the items detail by either choosing from a dropdown list or typing the information into the fields provided. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px;">
<b>Step 3: Import a Picture</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 16px;">
<span style="font-size: 13px;"><b>To add photos of an item: </b></span><span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 13px;"><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">
<br />
</span>3. Repeat this for up to 6 images. Add a description for each image in the space provided.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 16px;">
NOTE:</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 16px;">

1. Unsort your art list if it is sorted. For instance, if you imported 4000 good records on top of 4000 bad ones, the good ones will be after the bad ones. Unsorting them will place them in the order of entry with the good after the bad.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBLBMG1sTG8A4dI7_olPu0RsqKuFQ_1Bu7GsisI0EHzxSt997M0JzNTwqenIHovywWg36w2sx83E_3PjB0msJMtUWU8w-j_OqVbK-3vaXonGa7opCaiKXEP74v7p_CpE88bPMT1vQtw/s1600/PastedGraphic-2-727601.tiff"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQBLBMG1sTG8A4dI7_olPu0RsqKuFQ_1Bu7GsisI0EHzxSt997M0JzNTwqenIHovywWg36w2sx83E_3PjB0msJMtUWU8w-j_OqVbK-3vaXonGa7opCaiKXEP74v7p_CpE88bPMT1vQtw/s320/PastedGraphic-2-727601.tiff" /></a><br /><br />2. If the first 4000 records out of 8000 records need to be removed then go to Records/Omit Multiple.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIw-Typgumi3qTOeKXl_-By-ODz7V30GSRxhJksAUrc9-A1GpJY_AoMhV2njusfiDGsYAhDfTHFju-XTh9BZRdZaxVvziOL9k4y6Jkk2tzZAUnH74PE_sQgGmPIoHC_gBBs2RoINFHdg/s1600/PastedGraphic-3-729661.tiff"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIw-Typgumi3qTOeKXl_-By-ODz7V30GSRxhJksAUrc9-A1GpJY_AoMhV2njusfiDGsYAhDfTHFju-XTh9BZRdZaxVvziOL9k4y6Jkk2tzZAUnH74PE_sQgGmPIoHC_gBBs2RoINFHdg/s320/PastedGraphic-3-729661.tiff" /></a><br /><br />3. Type in the number or records to omit. In this example, use 4000. We are going to first omit the Bad then show them to isolate the bad ones. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH3oMFj0s6lWddQ-BG1y_oOE4NB15w_rMwnYy4K_G-_d7gU69ahipwGY1Rzh3Dh7wialf5wM7g1Nt9Q5h_vfcJqT6A7XEsZNdveyI6f383f_igfWrguJQ5uBCveBwejoCZYACNiNO7eA/s1600/PastedGraphic-5-731130.tiff"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH3oMFj0s6lWddQ-BG1y_oOE4NB15w_rMwnYy4K_G-_d7gU69ahipwGY1Rzh3Dh7wialf5wM7g1Nt9Q5h_vfcJqT6A7XEsZNdveyI6f383f_igfWrguJQ5uBCveBwejoCZYACNiNO7eA/s320/PastedGraphic-5-731130.tiff" /></a><br /><br />4. Now out of 8000 records, the first 4000 are now hidden. <br /><br /><br />5. To show the first 4000 go to Records/Show Omitted.<br /><br />6. Now the good are hidden and the bad are showing. Go to Records/Delete Found records to delete the bad ones. That will leave you with the records that are good. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5hSTXGhX1TFzHDqcOWPdaHgB8kAmKdtCHMJzPmJObZna448wdroC1CLdapHGpMf4hTBmvIuPaRmWyqw9kmu8_m3oV9VwQiXb3U3mdM2KTiC7TuZVL8wlvqUplc3Ho2rqXujajvFj0Q/s1600/PastedGraphic-4-732921.tiff"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj5hSTXGhX1TFzHDqcOWPdaHgB8kAmKdtCHMJzPmJObZna448wdroC1CLdapHGpMf4hTBmvIuPaRmWyqw9kmu8_m3oV9VwQiXb3U3mdM2KTiC7TuZVL8wlvqUplc3Ho2rqXujajvFj0Q/s320/PastedGraphic-4-732921.tiff" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

Can I import the images into Excel? What is the relationship between My Art Collection and FileMaker?<br /><br />Our product was built using FileMaker as the engine. We use software that lets us build applications using FileMaker as the engine to our product. Filemaker is a database platform like Mac and Windows are platforms. We designed and built our product in-house and it is what you actually interact with. Filemaker just runs the back end. Assuming you have a license for My Art Collection Professional, it will let you create multiple files for managing multiple collections so you are set there. <br /><br />As for exporting to Excel, FileMaker does not let you export images to an Excel file, only text. The only file format that you can export text to with FileMaker is another FileMaker file. <br /><br />The best way to share the data with images is to use one of the reports in our program and then save it as a PDF. With OSX you can do that when you select print. There is an option to save as a PDF. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><blockquote type="cite">

You need some way to identity records as a group so an example might be to right click in the Medium field and choose Find Matching Records for Mixed Media. That will find and display only records with Mixed Media in that field. <br /><br />Once you have the group of records you want isolated you will need to export the Cost field to find the total acquisition cost since we don't currently have a report that reports on cost. Just Value. <br /><br />To do that:<br /><br />1. Go to File/Export Records.<br /><br />2. Select the file type. If you choose Excel you can use that to calc the total cost<br /><br />3. Set the Dropdown on the left to Current Table (MyArt) and Choose Cost to move to the right. <br /><br />4. Click Export.<br /><br />5. Open in Excel and calc total.

If you have barcodes you can scan them into the tracking number field and store the number from the bar code there. Then you can find a file the same way by entering Find mode and scanning the bar code into the tracking number field and hitting enter.

Doing a search in a specific field such as "Artist" or "Title" will search just in that field and consequently will be quicker.</div><div><br></div><br>Ed Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08628060855004388595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8913480291117933147.post-49215112678309735532013-12-12T10:57:00.000-08:002014-10-12T16:55:44.647-07:00How can I transfer my data from an old computer to my new computer? <div style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; ">How can I transfer my data from an old computer to my new computer?</div><div style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; "><b>On the old Computer:</b></div><div style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; ">● Launch My Art Collection 2.0</div><div style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; "><br></div><div style="font-size: 20px; text-align: left; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: none; ">● Go to File/Save a Copy As and save a copy of the MyArt.MA2 data file to your desktop.

If you do not have a back up, here are instructions on recovering.<br />
<br />
<b>IMPORTANT: Please add the MyArt.fmp12 data file to your normal back up routine. Your data is valuable and proper back ups will help ensure it's safety against corruption or hard drive failures. It is best to back up to a source other then your current hard drive. Upload the file to a service such as dropbox.com or copy it to a flash drive or external hard drive for safe keeping. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>To save a back up go to File/Save a copy as and save a copy of the MyArt.fmp12 file. </b><br />
<br />
To recover a damaged file:<br />
<br />
● On Windows machines, press Ctrl+Shift while double-clicking the My Art Collection application icon.Hold the keys down until you see the Open Damaged File dialog box.<br />
<br />
● On Mac OS X machines, press Command-Option while double-clicking the My Art Collection application icon. Hold the keys down until you see the Open Damaged File dialog box.<br />
<br />
What to expect during the recovery process<br />
During the recovery process, the My Art Collection application:<br />
<br />
● creates a new file<br />
<br />
● renames any damaged file by adding Old to the end of the file name. (MyArt.fmp12 Old)<br />
<br />
● gives the repaired file the original name.<br />
<br />
If you experience unusual behavior in the recovered file, please contact us.<br />
