Create a custom database

Don't know why I didn't think of posting this here sooner. I am trying to find a program where I can create a database that I want to use as a journal/log to keep track of different things. MS Access is overkill for what I want. Just want something simple.
Thanks!

I use DBASE III+, which is an old-possibly out of reach.
How about going to CNET or ZDNET and search for database.

There should be freeware or shareware (pay if you like it)
programs to download.
