Sorry to necro an old thread, but its in line with my question needs. ATM I know nothing about setting up a database, haven't used one since 1984 when I was in high school - and that was only a few classroom exercises. I imagine things have changed a bit since then, also.
What I want to make now is what I vaguely remember from then.. Something that keeps track of elements and links them together, and will let me click through pages of related options. As an example, if I put in a bunch of recipes, then opened up the one for lasagna (presuming it is one of the ones I put in), then I could click on one of the components like Italian sausage, and have it bring up a list of all my entries that involve Italian sausage.
The database I actually want to make relates to a game, but shares that description.. multiple entries, multiple elements, want to be able to click through and see lists of entries that share an element.
What I'm looking for is a simple straightforward database program, easy to use, to do as I described above. No fancy capabilities or options needed. Could anyone advise me, please?
