My suggestion would be that he use a database package that could be set
up any way he wanted it.  Don't try to find a package geared just for
his particular use.  On the low end side (but still very powerful)
would be something like PC-FILE:Db, and on the high side I would
recommend something like R:base 3.0.  He then could customize his
reports to give him any type of lookup he required.  Personally I use
R:base and I am very happy with the purchase.  I would be happy to help
any way I could, even via letter mail if he would like.  Let me know.
