If so would you know a good site on how to make a data base, or is this something that is not to be taken lightly.

Do you have MS Office? If so it comes with a database (Access) which would suit your purposes.
A free alternative, and very popular at that, is
openoffice. It's a full Office suite and includes a database called "
Base".
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "compartments", but to me it sounds like a single dimensional table would be more than adequate for your needs. To get an idea of what's entailed, here's a PDF "
Getting Started With Base". You can also check out the User Documentation links listed from within the Base link above.
You can use the built-in interfacing tools to create a front-end for your database (ie the input screen), but if you want s snazzy looking book style interface, then you really need to develop the front end externally, through a programming language of your choice, and hook it up to your raw database.
Any further q's let me know...
