Bob's suggestion is an excellent one in the short-term (using an alternate
card quality). We've had a number of serious collectors asking for some new
features to handle special situations like you're describing, so features
to support these things are likely to appear in future updates.

The ability to export decks in a public XML file format is already planned
for the next release of Card Vault. At that point, it should be relatively
easy to accomplish the above by just loading the XML file directly into
Excel (since Excel can handle XML files OK). Alternately, an extension can
be written that does a more proper conversion to Excel. So this one is
definitely on the way.

I'll investigate this one.

This is not necessarily due to XP. The video refresh is a function of the
video card installed AND the video drivers. With an old (or low-end) video
card, Card Vault will be have sluggish video refresh. And, in some cases,
the video drivers for XP are *BAD* for some cards. This can also be the
cause. But the problem is not directly tied to Card Vault under XP.

This is already on the wish list for a future update. In the meantime, you
can use an info window at the bottom to display card details. When
configuring a view, groups that are marked as "Info" are shown in the card
details - in the order you specify them for the view. So you can control
exactly what gets shown where and in what order.
Thanks, Rob
