Windows bases database

[tinkertron]

I currently manage a database in Excel, and I have a friend in the UK that thinks that I should be using Mircosoft Access to do my database. It sound great, but I really don't like the layout of Access. I'm kinda leaning towards building my own database application that will do what I want it to do. I'm new to C++ and really do want to learn this programming. Can anyone suggest where I can start off with learning to build a database in C++ ? Here's what i'm looking for in my database.

Data-Entry
Data-Deletion
Data-Update
Upload spreadsheet to the web
Print Spreadsheet (online and offline)
Email (clients) for updates base on due dates
User Name and Password
Admin access to add/remove (clients info), add/remove users and password.

There will probly be more, but lets start off slow and easy. lol

I would just use one of the couple dozen currently out right now. There's no point in remaking it currently.

I've been using SQLite for a month or so, now.
* Easy to learn.
* Robust. In the default mode of operation, the database is pretty much incorruptible by crashes of any kind (OS or application).
* Just one .c and one .h. Important for beginners, since it doesn't involve linking libraries or anything like that.
* You get to learn a subset of SQL.

I'm pretty sure none of this is part of any database engine.

User Name and Password
Admin access to add/remove (clients info), add/remove users and password.

You can implement this at the application level.

EDIT: Wait. Are we talking about a database that will be in the same computer as the program, or a database on a client-server architecture?

The database will be in one central location application, but will upload a spreadsheet to the web through my application. I see no reason for a client server architecture at this point. The only two software that I know that can possibly do what i'm looking for is Microsoft Access and FileMaker, but even at that their layouts and function are limited in some areas (on how) i expect it to look and feel. But just in case I would like to use this as a backup if the project I'm doing now with my frined in the UK fails.
