When to replace chain?

Hello bicycling friends,

I realize my question may sound "so basic" to most of you....
Anyway here goes...
When is the recommended time or miles to replace a chain?
The reason I ask is I thought I heard a bike shop owner
suggest replacing chain at 500 miles or 1000 miles ...
but I am not sure exactly which one he said?

I have spent quite a bit of time reading through many of
the posts here having to due with "chains".
I can't seem to find anything...however, it is possible that
I've overlooked the answer to my question.

I would appreciate it if some of you "experienced" ones could
please help me out. I just completed 400 miles yesterday on
my new bike, and just want to take care of it.

Thanks in advance,
Trek'n Teresa
