hello to all i do not know much about vb can someone guide me how to create a front end for ms access database mdb with visual basic or any other good suggessions will be highly appriciated.
thanks in advance
May not have understood the question but you could create the database in Access, VB will work with it. You may need to add a control to your VB project but your users will be able to interact with the database allowinf them to update it

By visual basic I am assuming you mean Visual Basic 6 which is very old. Basically given your question and coding ability (assumed by me) I would suggest you simply start with Access. You can in MSAccess make a front end of forms etc - and easily link this front end to a MDB back end where you store your data. MSAccess is actually a mini visual basic built with a database (called Jet) together.
If you do this then you will soon learn that not only can you link the tables of your database but you can also create connections through ADO. Doing this type of connection and dealing with the records etc is going to put very close to how you would need to do it in Visual Basic 6.
So my reason for saying that VB6 is so old is that Visual Basic 2010 express is free for you to download. Visual Basic 2010 is based on the same language as Visual Basic 6 so you will see many similarities, but it is the latest and greatest so it would be my suggestion that if you really want to learn something then learn this. You will still be able to use ADO to connect to an Access mdb but you will also have other methods (which are way more complicated) as well.
