    A VB.NET application can connect to an Access database like it does any other database. The application part is irrelevant because, if you're using VB.NET, you're creating a VB.NET application. All your forms will be created using VB.NET. With regards to reports, I'm not sure whether an Access report can be displayed in a VB.NET application but I've never seen mention of it. The default reporting functionality for .NET is SQL Server Reporting Services. While you can get lots more functionality if you have a SQL Server backend, you can add a client report directly to your application and populate it from a DataSet/DataTable that you can populate in any way you like.
