Screen Import Problem

edbro — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:38:44 GMT

Often when I try a screen import the ingredients list will have stars in front of them that are not on the web page. This messes up the import unless I manually edit the capture first. For example, this is a screen shot of a recipe on BigOven.com:

Stuffed Peppers

"Green peppers stuffed with ground beef and rice and topped with a seasoned tomato sauce."

Imported recipes do not show in View

delichef — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:27:31 GMT

I imported two soup recipes into a new Soup Recipe Box.

They show in the Edit, Notes/Tags and Nutrition screens, but not the View so I can print them.

What did I do wrong when I imported them?

When I open each of the recipes up they do not show in the View screen and all I get is:

<!--@BOLOCAL-->

Thanks in advance

Importing from Now You're Cooking

Is it possible to easily import recipes from Now You're Cooking? If so, can I import an entire cookbook rather than one recipe at a time?

Thanks!

Users: DO NOT change location of My Big Oven Recipes folder during install/update

fireblue98 — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 18:42:04 GMT

After installing update, I encountered problems with importing from BO.com and other websites, deleting recipes, "losing" new recipes & recipe boxes, and other issues posted on this board.

During install I had changed the location of My Big Oven Recipes folder from the default (shared folder) to My Documents. Even though we are given the option to change the location during install, Big Oven did not like it; thus the problems mentioned above.

I uninstalled & re-installed, allowing the MBOR folder to be put in the default directory, and now everything works just fine.

If you are experiencing any problems with importing, deleting, pictures, "losing" recipes, etc., and you did change the location of the folder, I urge you to uninstall, re-install, and allow it to go to default location. Hopefully it will work for you as it did for me!

Post-install of update: can't import, 0 recipes in status bar

fireblue98 — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 16:37:31 GMT

Did update (BO deluxe version) install w/out removing all data during uninstall of previous version. Searched bigoven.com archive for recipes using FIND button, clicked one result, clicked "IMPORT" button & screen on right changed to Butter Pecan Pie recipe w/ the pic from the garlic thyme chicken recipe. Tried importing several other recipes from results list, all with exact same outcome.

Uninstalled updated version, cleared registry entry (per instructions on bigoven.com), re-installed update. Same results after clicking "IMPORT" only this time got the Butter Pecan Pie recipe w/ pic of a berry pie.

Also, recipe count in status bar (no matter which Rbox I'm in, or what recipe I click on) says 0 recipes. According to forum, this seems to be a common issue w/ new update. Not too worried about this one - more concerned w/ import issue.

Help please. thanks.

3 problems. printing, importing, and ingredients

satchmosmom — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 11:21:21 GMT

I hate to bother you with this, but I truely have looked everywhere I can find in the FAQs and Message Board etc, and I'm getting nowhere.

I printed out my first recipe today and there was absolutely no border on the printout. It was so wide that it cut off all my ingredient amounts. How do i adjust the printing data so that it will print out on 8.5x11 size paper? Hmm.

Also, I tried to import a recipe that I have in Microsoft word 2007, student edition format. It wouldn't find the recipe but gave me an opportunity to find it. I did locate the recipe and when I clicked on it I got a message that said I probably need the Microsoft Data Access Component, free download, see FAQs. I did that, and downloaded the MDAC. When I started to install, it said that the components in the MDAC are already in my version of Windows. Help! Now I can't even open BO screen. I click open and it takes me to the My Computer screen. I click on Shared Documents, opening up to click on MBO recipes. I click on that and then get the blank page for the recipe that I was initially looking for. I just go around in a circles. Help.

One more thing. one of the things I liked most when I found MBO was that I could determine the nutrients in each recipe. I have noticed that in some recipes the nutrients are not complete because of the way they are written. I'm amazed that I figured that out! But I also notice that some common things are not recognized... Not a problem, if I can enter a new ingredient myself, with all the nutrients for that ingredient. Is this possible? I am on a special diet and it would be absolutely wonderful if that is possible.

I am really excited about learning to use this software, but I am beginning to get a little frustrated and feel like I am already fighting a loosing battle. : (

I hope you can help. Thanks

import list of recipe names/titles

branch — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 18:21:52 GMT

For each of my cookbooks, I make a list of recipe names to index them on my computer. I'd like to import these recipe names as recipes in Bigoven, so that I can use Bigoven to catalog the recipes and add notes to them when I cook them, etc. Is there any way to do this as a batch process? For example, if I have a list like this:

Tomato Sauce
Hummus
Lentil Salad
....

Can I take that list and somehow use it to create recipes with each of those names? This would be very helpful since I have thousands of recipes already indexed!

Thanks,

Lisa

adding my personal recipes

ajb0909 — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:50:06 GMT

I need to know if I can scan in my recipes and then import them... Please don't tell me that I have to re-type all of my paper recipes! I just bought Big Oven and was so excited to get started. I failed to check that little detail...

Re: Importing Recipes - where do they go?

cogramma — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:23:00 GMT

[quote user="kjacobsen"]

Where do recipes go after you've imported them? I can't seem to find mine and I've looked in all the sections of the recipe box ( I am using the trial version right now). They aren't showing up when I do a general search either. I mainly want to use this program to organize the recipes I already have on my computer. thanks.

[/quote]

I don't have the trial version but I have the program set to open to my 'favorites' recipe box. (I added a NEW recipe box called FAVORITES). This is the one that opens by default each time I OPEN the program.

Then when I'm in the program, I do a search for a recipe, hit the IMPORT and it automatically goes to my favorites.crb Recipe Box. Maybe in your case it's going to the Standard.crb which is the one that OPENS by default unless you change it!

I bet if you upgrade to the paid version IMPORT will work just fine!

Hope this helps!

Can BigOven import a text file?

BahstonFrn — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:38:00 GMT

I currently use Pocket Recipe software for Windows and my Palm OS PDA. The only option for exporting recipes from this software is in either a comma-separated or a tab-delimited file with one record for each recipe, and the fields spread across the file. Is there a way to import a CVS or TAB file into BigOven?
