Takeoff/Landing Data Cards - Database Question

Hi, I am trying to modernise my takeoff data card/departure card/arrival card for various aiports. Currently it is quite a complicated MS Word document with multiple tables lines colums etc (to hard for me to make in Excel). Unfortunately this requires a seperate document for each airport I go to -(it has things like ATIS freq/Elevation/Special procedures etc)

What I want to do is semi automate it - presumably using a database program (such as MS access - the only one i have). I am not sure if this is the right prog for the job or in fact how to make it work.

What I want to have is essentially my table/ layout, and then from a pulldown menu I can select (for example) Melbourne - all the relevant melbourne information the fills in the table, leaving appropriate gaps for manual speed/clearances ATIS info & data entry.

(This way i can have a database with the relevant info in it, which is then easier to update)

Does anyone have any suggestions how to get started or if this is even the right program.
