Opinions on starting a text editor project.

[Xkape]

I was wondering what would be the best way to write a text editor program. The functions i'm looking to have are these...
Lastname, firstname, phone and note info. And i'm wanting this program to save all the contents per lastname, and I would like to append to it when searched for, which means I would need to be able to search as well.

Any idea's or opinions on the best way about doing this?

Thanks

Why dont you try to save all these in a Database.

Use MSAccess database, its good for small project.
Otherwise if you have VS.NET, it comes with MSDE which is essentially SQL server but it has some limitations, for example concurrent connections and things like that. Great for testing.
