I have a bento database and will move to tap forms5 however it contains over 23,000 records and 53 fields. I’m sure there are fields not needed, Sparcely populated etc that could be eliminated. Is it better to convert to tap forms then. Cleanup the fields or export from bento a excel file then sort data by column/field to see what is used etc and the. Delete fields etc in bento before the migration to tap forms or how would I do this after migration? Bento is on an old computer that is being kept only until I migrate to tap forms thanks for the help
Topic: Importing from Bento
My Bento 4 (version 4.1.2) is on a computer using El Capitan (10.11.6). How to do I import it to Tapforms 5 on another computer using Mojave.
Topic: My Bento woes..
Hello. I purchased TAP FORMS ORGANIZER 5. I recently updated to (mini) Mac (Mojave). This kind of forces me to update certain things as they either are very slow, and I fear they will be unusable shortly. I am overwhelmed with all the stuff Organizer5 offers, but my main reason is I read that it could transfer my two databases from Bento (4.1.2). When it comes to computers, I must admit I hover around the idiot level.
My two databases on Bento is one for my video (movies) database and one for my SACD discs.For the movie database, I have 5113 records.
I have 5 categories: TITLE, FORMAT, INFORMATION, COMPOSER, and GENRE.
I also have included 2 screen shots of my partial movie list. One is a general list of everything that I can browse easily, the other is another format that is per title, which is easier to read and I use to add and/or subtract from the master database.I am hoping someone could give me a step by step list of the process….from what I need to extract from the BENTO program to putting that information in a Organizer 5 database. The Organizer 5 is so complex, I don’t know where to start. I can’t even find where the choice is for Bento.
Much thanks,
JohnPS I was able to export my Bento databases (2 of them) to my desk, where they are ID as John’s Video Library.bentoTemplate
I just downloaded the trial version of Tap Forms to see if it can work as replacement for the Bento app (4.1.2) on my Mac. I then imported one of the Bento libraries, which by and large worked, but with one exception. Each entry in this library has a JPEG image attached. But in Tap Forms, all that has been transferred is the name of the JPEG, not the image file itself. I’ve even tried using the Photo Grid View, which does show each JPEG listed as a “scan” (which it is). It describes it as a “data” file. But when I double-click the icon, nothing happens. Well, Photoshop Elements tries to open it, but then a pop-up says that Elements “does not recognize this type of file.” (Elements opens the JPEGs in my Bento libraries easily.) Is there a solution to this problem? I hope so, because all my Bento libraries have JPEGs attached, so I won’t be able to purchase Tap Forms if there isn’t.
