I think you want to try something like MS Access - it's a pretty slick little tool, and fairly straightforward to use, and teach yourself to use.
I taught myself with Access 1.0 many eons ago, and created my own dbs for my bobbins and books. Access's gone through many updates since 1992/3, but I think is still pretty simple to use. I think it still allows you to import from other programs, produce reports and queries, etc, and in larger use situations allows you to hook it onto a SQL Server front or back end (don't remember which - DH is the Access smartie-pants). It's designed for small use, but can handle quite large applications. No affiliation with MS, just a 'techno-peasant' user.
