I have been entering inventory items in SMPro this evening, but all of a sudden, I received this error message when I tried to create an inventory item:
"(X!) SMPro is unable to execute this operation. To continue, please save your work, close other running programs or restart SMPro and then try the command again."
I closed SMPro and restarted it again (several times), but as soon as I opened up my inventory manager, my pc started "grinding" and the same message popped up.

Hi there,
Have you tried restarting your computer? It sounds like there may be a memory resource problem. Can you tell us how many inventory items you have created in Pro? If you have a large inventory, you might want to consider saving in batches instead of inventory, due to resources needed to save a large inventory file.

I have only created about 150-170 items in my inventory (with many more to go), but have not uploaded the items yet. My pc has a pretty good bit of memory and an 80gb hard drive, so I figured it would work out ok when I started listing my inventory items. I like the smaller timeframe when creating my inventory vs. the online version. I did reboot my pc and reopened SMPro. It seemed to do okay after that, but took a few minutes to load my inventory once I chose that option. My pc still continued the "grinding" sound, though, when I chose the inventory option, but stopped once the inventory screen loaded.
As far as saving in batches, I have many items and need to use the inventory functionality of the program to help me keep my sanity (lol). I thought saving in batches would essentially be the same - either way the records reside on my pc. Is this correct?

OK, now I understand (duh!). The only records I would really need to keep offline are those that I want to use in my eBay auctions and eBay store, since I will list them as needed...and I can create my Vendio store listings in the form of a batch so they won't be on my pc, since the info will be stored in my Sales manager. I have many more Vendio items than eBay anyway. Thanks for the advice!!
I do have one more question, though. I am moving my Vendio store inventory items into a batch folder to upload to sales manager, but when I delete the inventory item from SMPro, will it also delete my online inventory (the same way it does the pics)? And will deleting a batch affect my online inventory or listings? I really hope not, as I have spent a long time working on my listings.
Thanks for all of your help!!
