Database?

[csj1]

I want to make a database sort of application in which one inputs their "fear of..." and then it comes out with the scientific name, and vise versa. How would I do this? (I know, noob question)

I think there is a ODBC object but I haven't a clue how to use it.

The ODBC object will work and if you understand SQL you should not have any issues getting to to work. I hvae used the object serveral times in creating databse driven stuff and it works great. Though each time I use it I have to relearn since I don't use it much.

There's the SQLDB object in MMF2 that's much easier to use than the ODBC object.

If you don't literally mean a database, and just an application where you input and get an output then you could have two list objects. One contains the fear, such as 'height' then on the SAME line in the other list object you have the phobia. So you just compare the same line in each list object.
