Seems funny to me that this question even happens. Any reasonable statistical package will allow you to do this. Of course, you would want your field notes to be in a sensible format for them to be analyzed. Otherwise, if you type in field notes once to just have them in electronic form, then later type in the data to do analyses, then you are doing a lot of extra needless work. Chances are, after you decipher your data for analysis, there is really very little left over for "notes" that could not easily be converted to some kind of short hand for typing into the same data file. They way you describe your needs, I do all of that with a very succinct data base in SAS, JMP, R or whatever.
