Not as simple as that Don. Checkmate embeds the scan into a database column. so the scan itself is no different than the name of the casino or the denomination field. The plus side of this is that the whole of checkmate data is a single MDB (Microsoft Access Database file). Carlisle has chosen to have an individual JPG/image file for each and embed a link to the file. A perfectly reasonable way to do this as well -
But the downside is that it might be easy to export the information from Checkmate but not the images. You could write a little visual basic program to read the image data into a control and write out a JPG but is not out-of-the-box. This is the only thing right now keeping me from changing. I'd hate to rescan all the chips (3800 of them in the DB right now).
