: Having said all this I think the Database is the way to go. I don't know where to start on doing this so some help sure would be appreciated.

In the series of lessons for DelphiLand's "Crash Course", lessons 14 will be about building a flat-file database system. We shall use the CSV format, "Comma Separated Values", because a lot of people don't have Delphi's database components (they use a personal version of Delphi).

The entire series of articles is not finished yet, but you can have a sneak preview here:

During the next days, we'll follow up on lesson 14, just check that page for links to new articles.

Guido
