Hi Jamie
I also would assume the company probably is not that clear what they
mean with 'flat file'. I don't think they want a kind of VSAM data
structure (at least I hope they don't want it...)

if you have this requirements you really should use a database. e.g.
MS Access.

MS Access/Jet would seem to be the way to go. A .mdb file would meet
the requirements for a flat file (it only becomes a relational
database when coupled with the Jet SQL engine).
