Keith,

I downloaded your program and installed it, with some difficulty.

I think it will be a great program for beginners. For those of us who have been collecting for a while, I think you will need an import function in order to get us to use it. Many of us use EXCEL to track our chips.

Personnally, I use a database program that uses a dBase file format. Some of the things that I track that are not on Checkmate are: Who I got the chip from (related to another data base with dealer/trader infomration), when I acquired the chip, how many did I buy, sell and for how much, casino type (regular casino, indian reservation, riverboat, illegal, limited gaming, card room, cruise shio, day cruise, etc.), chip type (current, obsolete, fun night, limited edition, grand opening, etc.), inventory status (want list, in stock, out of stock, on order), acquisition (bought, auction, trade, casino, freebie).
