BigOven

 Please check my recent post (rave) in the Help/Fixes section about the Grocery Gadgets app that will import your shopping list into iPhone. It's fantastic. :)

 Amazing new development for iPhone and Touch users-- an application called Grocery Gadgets will import your BigOven shopping lists. Here's how it works: you make your shopping list in BigOven, then go to File/Save shopping list. This generates a .bsg file in the Big Oven\Data\Shopping Lists folder. Then, from your Grocery Gadgets web ...

 Okay, I've been working at this for awhile, and thought I would share some thoughts just in case anybody else out there is trying the same thing: My goal was to have a common data base that would allow me to work on my BigOven menus and shopping lists from three different computers-- two laptops (me and my husband) and one desktop ...

 Whew. Thanks.

Hello, I recently (well, last year, actually) donated my laptop and bought a new one. About a week ago I started receiving messages to that I need to activate Big Oven on my new laptop, but I am unable to succeed because I never deactivated the installation from my old laptop (although I did wipe the hard drive when I gave it away), and ...

 ....a version of #2, above: I used the microsoft powertoy synctoy to create a backup of my bigoven recipes on my laptop. In Tools/Options/startup recipe box and /bigoven folder I have assigned the network drive, so whenever I'm home that's what bigoven opens.

Much cleaner look, which I really like, and having the ads segregated to the side. For some reason I find it easier to read/sort recipes top to bottom, rather than in grid form. Especially ...

 Here's my situation: I keep Big Oven recipe and data files on a networked drive, so that all family members can access all recipes and current menus from any of the five (!) computers in our house. By definition, that means when I travel, I can't access my recipes, OR use Big Oven at all (Big Oven tries to open, tells me it can't ...

Because I am slightly nuts, and siezed with a fit of spring recipe cleaning, I imported another 70 recipes this morning. First of all, I would like to register, once again, my gratitude and amazement about the ease of use of this program. Every year I seem to discover more things I can do with it. 140 recipes imported, one by one, in about two ...

...As the last part of my housekeeping, I imported about sixty recipes that have been collecting in an electronic folder. NONE of those ingredients ended up on my master ingredients list. So something must have changed between my last batch of imports (at least six months ago) and now. Ingredients do not seem to be automatically added any more. ...
