CVJournal Journal Page
CVJournal is a facility designed to ease the tracking of actual casino results. Using an Access database, you can store, manipulate, calculate, sort, select and chart session data. You can enter CVJournal from TOOLS - CVJOURNAL or by using the CVJournal icon. When entered, you are presented with the main journal page as described here:
The Journal
In the center of the screen, you will see the sessions currently selected from the Journal. A small sample journal with only a few fields is included. You should delete the sample sessions before you use CVJournal. The second row contains totals, averages, minimums or maximums for some fields.
