Saving my database on Turbo lister 2

[spuffnstuff]

I am told Turbo lister will be closing down in 3 days.

I still (and I hope I always will) be able to use my database there to keep track of my live items in my store

How do I save my database for use after Turbo lister closes down?

In detail please keystroke by keystroke.

I am 79 years old and will need this database for many years to come.

I have been using  turbolister since its inception (22 years for me).

The database itself is probably not going to be accessible to you outside of Turbo Lister.  If you can still log into Turbo Lister, then your best option is to "Export" your data into all the possible CSV file formats. Data in CSV format is portable and can be opened in a spreadsheet. If you have your photos stored in a Turbo Lister folder, then you'll want to save or export those as well (I don't know how, or if, that can be done).

If you are unable to open Turbo Lister, you may need to change your computer system date to a 2019 date in order to access the program and export your CSV files. You won't be able to synchronize with eBay.

Hi @spuffnstuff,

Thanks for posting.

There is nothing happening to Turbo Lister in 3 days, we already shut it down on our side in July 2020, so I'm assuming that message is referencing the token on your account expiring. If after 3 days the program is forcing you to login to authorize, other users have been able to get around this by changing the date on their computer back a year or so. You should be able to access your data.

As Ship said, I would also recommend exporting your data, as there are no guarantees that the program will continue working being that it is not longer supported.
