Hail to All,

I am about to start on a Bible search program and didn't know the best way to go about it. I know there are many out there but this is just a project that I've always wanted to try. Here is what I'm wanting to do:

search for a word and display the verses that contain that word.
Search for a phrase same as above.
Add notes to a verse.
Goto book, chapter, verse directly.
And many more features

right now I'm trying to figure out the best way to store the book's text. Should I put it in an Access database file? Then the question is would they have to have access or would my program still be able to use the file type?

I figure I would create a tablethat contained the following columns:


Book_Name
Chapter_Number
Verse_Number
Verse_Text
User_Notes


Any advice or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
