CBPF 1.11 is available NOW.

The Diamond extended file format change is happening this weekend (6/27/08). If you are using the extended format for the weekly Diamond file you have two options.

• Upgrade CBPF to 1.11 to support the new file format
• Call Diamond and have them change you to the normal (instead of the extended) format of the weekly file.

Diamond is making a file format change as announced on their Diamond Daily May 8. To read about how it effects CBPF users read my Blog (5/9/2008)

Version 1.10 is NOW available. Check the Latest Version to download CBPF 1.10. CBPF now contains an auto-backup feature of CBPF data. To find a comprehensive list, check out the Newsletters.

All of the video tutorial files are available by download in the video tutorial section.

Sell more products!! Version 1.07 contains the New Notables Report to help you sell more products to your customers. This report will make your customers aware of products which are available which they may not be aware of in the Previews Catalog, or even in your store. Expose your customers to posters, T-shirts, statues or books which contain great artwork.

Great News!!! Version 1.06 now contains CBPF BASIC (free version) for smaller retailers, for those who want to test the waters for more than 60-days, and for frugal (cheap) retailers. The 60-day trial is the full version, but when the 60-days have expired, if you want to use CBPF BASIC instead of subscribing/purchasing, you type "basic" at the password prompt. At any point, you may purchase or subscribe to the full version of CBPF. CBPF BASIC has the bells and many of the whistles disabled, but it is still scientifically proven to be 53,426 times better than the paper and pencil system. Specific disabled items are listed in the 1.06 newsletter.

Version 1.06 has increased filtering options on the Diamond All form.

If you didn't receive Comics and Games Retailer #169 with the free CD-Rom, contact us and we will send you a CD-Rom. Even though the program is downloadable here, the CD-Rom is worth having for the video tutorials.

Download introductory video. This video contains a brief introduction of the capabilities of CBPF to help you determine if it is the right product for your store. The video will run on Windows Media Player on your computer. You will need headphones or speakers on your computer. If the audio plays without video, see Frequently Asked Questions. 2 hours of tutorial videos are also available on the install CD-Rom.
