My client wants a database done in Director, I have done much research and I am still dumbfounded<?sp?>

a. I have a set of fields(3) that are where I plan on entering the data, they are labeled: medication, diagnosis, and sideeffect.

b. I have a submit button where the text entered in each field is to be placed into a proplist which will be inside another proplist

c. At Onmoviestart I have a blank proplist started : meds1=[:]

d. I cant figure out how to set the properities for each value(#medicaiton, #diagnosis and #sideeffects) so that when I push the submit button the information form each field(medication, diagnosis and sideeffect) can be set to the proplist so that it reads:
meds1=[Cogentin=[#medication:"cogentin",#diagnosis:"Parkinsonsdisease",#sideeffects:"blah"]]
no wait thats not it...
I also cant figure out how to pull a certain proplist and put it into a field, per say: if the user enters Cogentin into a field and clicks on the submit button I need a script to search on gmeds1 for the cogentin proplist? then once it is have it put into a field "results" in a legible manner.
Sorry for the long question but I have lost a LOT of sleep over this and cant figure it out.
So any help on how to make this work would be really appreciated.
ps I hope I have not confused anyone
