Looking for testers for my coin program

I've been posting about my coin program I'm working on over in the U.S coin forum, but wanted to post about the testing here also. If you are interested in helping test, just follow up with the instructions here. If you want to know more about this program, there are several threads about it on the U.S. forums. Here's a link to the basic interface Link
If you have any questions about the direction this program is taking, don't hesitate to ask. What you see in the link above is only 1 of many different capabilities I want to have in this program. I still have the "coin set" area to do, bullion, and reports. So, it is far from complete, but this section here represents a lot of underlying code that will be used for the other areas, so I want to test it now before I start using it in other areas.
Thanks.

Ok, there comes a time when you are developing something, that you just have to pull the trigger and release code to testers. Part of me feels that I'm not ready to test yet, but another part says that I'm just trying to drag things out.
THIS IS NOT FINISHED CODE - I want to be very clear and upfront, this is still design in progress. This is not even close to release. Right now I need people to test the one interface I have to see if it's robust, has easy use, searches work, adding coins work etc etc. I also want more feedback on what's good, what's bad, what would be nice to add etc etc. This will be the first of many alpha and beta releases towards the final product. I would like people who are willing to comment, weather it's good or bad. I'm trying to make the best product that I can.
These are no pay positions. I am not responsible for any computer damage that occurs (It's an access program so it should not blow up your computer but I have to cover myself).
What will you get in return? When I am ready for release, you will get a free copy of one kick butt inventory program. That's about all I can offer.
If you are interested, please answer the following questions and email them to me at showey@gmail.com
Please be as detailed as possible.
You DO NOT need to have Access 2007 to run this program. The Access runtime Library is a free download from Microsoft, which is all this program needs to run. It will also run if you do have Access 2007. The program is designed to have your computer resolution running at a minimum of 1024x768. If it's smaller you will get scroll bars is all.
1. Name:
2. Age:
3. Years collecting coins.
4. Any experience with Access or Excel?
5. Currently use any coin inventory software? If so, which one, or is it your own creation?
6. Computer specs: (Right now I have it running on an AMD 2800+, 1gb ram, Vista)
7. Have you ever tested any software before?
8. Why would you make a good tester?
I hope that's all the questions I need answered, but you never know. I'm very nervous right now and am probably forgetting things. The ONLY reason I ask for age, is that I would like to know if I have some older testers or not. I want to make sure that older people or people without as good as eyesight can read the text in the program.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me get this far and for those who are considering help test this program. I am really excited about this, and this program has grown in leaps and bounds since I first thought of the idea.
