I would consider using a database at the very beginning. But I would not consider using Access. For many reasons, but first of all, because it is not stand-alone, not portable, and really resource-expensive of such a task. So I suggest you try sqlite[^]. It is actually a one-dll database engine suitable for such small applications (bot for many more too).
