Accessing a SQL database

[Gimpster]

I'm kinda new to writing front end applications for databases. I'm working on a project right now, where I have a Sybase SQL Sever database. I don't want to use the Data Control included in VB, I want to use ADO. What do I need to know in order to be able to:

1. Connect to the database
2. Access the tables in the database
3. Display the information in text boxes
4. Manipulate the data (i.e. move from record to record, add new records, delete old records, etc.) with a set of custom controls (essentially custom buttons, or something similar. Again, I don't want to use the Data Control)

Please tell me what I need to know about these topics, or direct me to a site that gives very comprehensive tutorials. Thanks.
