First, don't call it a DBMS

I have never heard this term before

If you know about Binary file access ( Seek etc ) then you are a long
way towards a Random Access system for Variable length chunks of data.

Yes, I am very familiar with binary file access in VB. The problem is
not in how to implement an idea (code) the problem is getting my mind
around the file structure required to accomplish the goal

What you want to do is 'roll your own' data management system

Yep, that is what I want...how is this not a DBMS (DataBase Management
System)?
