Create database???

[coccio]

I have info stored in excel and I want to create a database where I have a search box and I can search the database and display the information on my search. I want to create a software product... I know how I want to design the look of it but I don’t know how to create it so it functions. I don’t need to have it accessible to the internet I want it to sit on my desktop as a stand alone software product. So I can type a key work and the information that I want to see is available from the database anyone have suggest how I can achieve this? Do I need to things like Programming Language: C++ & Widget Toolkit: wxWidgets or QT & Database: firebird or sqlite? How can I achieve this?

Do you actually need a new application? You can search Excel pretty efficiently using filters and a bit of VBA code.
If everything is in one list, and you don't have tens of thousands of records, a database will most likely be overkill.

Unless I missed the point...

if you are not willing to use excel & vba, you can start learning and developing your software with delphi or visual basic. And you can use mySQL database
