MS Access and VB.NET creating forms

So i need a little direction to create a form with in VB.net to access a ms access database. Could someone point me in a simple way to doing this? What about making it so that it calculates inventory? If someone already has something in mind in creating a database with inventory items and to take it out with a account number and the qty used, that would be great. Would also like to create reports!

well, its actually pretty easy to do so.  however, youre going to need to study up on ado.net to access your database.  this will give you whatever functionality you need.  for example you can create, delete, and manipulate tables to your hearts content.

check this site out

creating reports however is a little different.  you need software to do that, like crystal reports (and if you have visual studio professional it comes with it)  the only other option ive found is when i used to have to create reports in excel.  that way however is a huge pain.

any other questions let me know.
