What you are asking for isn't overly difficult. What do you feel your level of comptency is on the computer? Since you will be the one using the db (or if others will) then this is something to consider as well in the design (whether automating the queries for you, data entry via forms, etc).

i think he was using Access to do it. The database is for people that are fairly computer illiterate..... he was going to design a point and click style with drop down menus and have everything needed on one screen. I have very limited experience with Access........ once i could have done most of what i need, but i have forgotten more than i ever learned about it.
