I'm very new to dbases and what-not, but have had experience as a programmer and was hoping/wondering whether this would be possible...I am working on updating a mailing list database for a nonprofit and wanted to keep track of the donations individuals made. My hope was to have as a part of the main mailing list dbase a subdbase with fields like date donated, amount donated, etc. and let the user browsing through records be able to look through donation records as well.

is something like this possible? how so?

in programming speak, this would be a node in a list of some variety with one of its elements being a list as well.

Yes. Related databases are what it's all about. Have a look at the Portals thread(s) to get some good ideas.
