Couple of impressions so far:

1. Establishing a baseline worked, but I could only get it to register on a 1-250 scale. I don't know if the changes tracked are ultimately according to my rating system (20-80) because, well, see below.
2. It would be very convenient if the output text file also grabbed a player's age; similarly, if it could track potential changes in addition to ratings ones.
3. Game has to be closed in order for the program to run; otherwise, you get an error saying that some free agent file is in use.
4. It takes a long time to run, and it is very finicky about other programs running at the same time. I haven't actually seen the output because I think it needs to have no other programs running and I have too much work to do this morning not to have them running!

But this is an intriguing start. I have long wanted something like this so that I can run a bunch of tests without having to transfer everything over to Access. Thanks again.
