Thank you VERY much everyone.. Wow I think I'm just going to go with a simple XML external file to hold the data I need.. it really is going to be just a simple single user database holding just simple name/address/phone number info.
I'm sure someone has already created a sample stack doing just want I want.. but so far I haven't really found any. Thanks again for everyones help and research. Sarah has a very nice XMLDemo tutorial on her website. I'll try and use that as a base. Unless anyone can suggest something easier or better to use. I'm always open to suggestions, and not being much of a programmer myself.. I seem to learn much better by example. Thanks again!
