I've found a MSAccess template that I guess could work, but it's not ideal.
What do you all use?  |

I don't think what I do is ideal but I have a series of excel spreadsheets, one for each playable set, arranged to adjust chip breakdowns and distributions.
I currently do not have any system at all for logging sample sets and casino collectible chips. I probably should though... |

OpenOffice Calc (same functionality as Excel, but free) |

Just curious... why the would you use access? I think it'd be overkill to actually make a database to keep track of chips. I guess if you plan to sell them online using a MSAccess database as the backend inventory database it'd make sense, but short of that Excel or openoffice should work fine.

oO Calc Sheet. (you know it as "Excel")
When they are in play, I only bring full racks out (off the shelf, into the 'poker area') and at the end of the night, all racks, once everyone is cashed out, should be full, and they go back on the shelf. |

Custom/Fantasy/Retail/Promo/Sample | thats an interesting breakdown on stats to track.
Tomb - you care if I build a database in MySQL using those fields as a starting point? I wont sell it & will share it with everyone here. it might make for a nice chip collectors theme for a website. EX: i enter my chip stats into a database (through a web interface) and it builds a webpage with all your chips that you could search and sort through... Certainly nerdy, but might be a kinda cool project.
I need to brush up on my PHP coding anyways.
