This is too ambitious for a newbee.

While I agree with Villeroy that this is a very (too?) ambitious project for a newbee, you might find this article by the late (and much missed) Solveig Haugland of assistance,

Any form of database for commercial application will need much consideration and effort: you should ask yourself "Am I a database developer or is my main job doing <whatever it is that you do>?" Often it will be best to acquire a commercial product, even if not the latest version - in my business days I used an old version of Quickbooks (bought second-hand for a few £) which did what I wanted.

Perhaps your right, but I have accomplished alot through how tos and guides.I was just hopeing someone could point me in the right direction. I have and will continue to look for something like an old copy of quick books but until I find something I'm going to try and make this work.

Read the above article for a simple start.
