    Bank account catagories

    Hi,
    I am trying to make a database for my banking data. I would like to search the description of the transaction and assign it to a category. For Example
    Description: "Withdrawal Bobs Electric Company 10102010 "
    The description always has some date code that screws things up so I would like to just search the string for keywords "Bobs Electric" and assign a category like "electric bill" for this.
    I was imagining some type of 'relationship' based on keywords. Maybe a table that looks like:

    KEYPHRASE, CATEGORY
    Bobs Electric, Electric Bill
    Bills Electric, Electric Bill
    Beans and Gas, Natural Gas Bill
    The Gas we Pass, Natural Gas Bill
    Progressive, Insurance Bill
    Molasses Internet, Internet Bill


    Wall mart, Wall mart

    The query would read the description of a transaction, and if it said Beans and Gas, the Category column would return "Natural Gas Bill"

    So I am wondering if this is possible and how I should go about it. From what I know about relationships this will not work, but perhaps some complex query... Any suggestions?
