Add a reference to Microsoft Activex Data Object 2.x Library to your project. At least version 2.1 or higher is required for access 2000 databases:
Here is a very simple example which opens the connection on form load and closes it with the form. When you click the command button, the contents of text1 are used in the where clause of the select statement to retrieve the corresponding record and the value of the name field is put into text2. This can be expanded on at will but should give you an idea of how to proceed.
Private cnnAccess As ADODB.Connection
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set cnnAccess = New ADODB.Connection
cnnAccess.ConnectionString
cnnAccess.Open
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Unload()
cnnAccess.Close
Set cnnAccess = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim rstMain As ADODB.Recordset
Set rstMain = New ADODB.Recordset
rstMain.Open "Select Name From Main Where ID = " & CStr(Text1.Text),cnnAccess
Text2.Text = rstMain.Fields("Name").Val
rstMain.Close
Set rstMain = Nothing
End Sub

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE
I missed a bit from the connection string, use this as your connection string, but substitute your database and path instead of nwind.mdb
cnnAccess.ConnectionString
cnnAccess.ConnectionString
