VB.NET 2003 and MS Access -- very simple

This question seems oh-so-simple to me, yet I'm completely confused. I'm used to VB6, and am -very- new to VB.NET. I'm also not very familiar with MS Access, I usually do work with SQL. However, since I went out of my way to get VB.NET (not specifically for this), I thought that I might as well try to do it instead of reverting to VB6 first.

I have my Access MDB file and a blank VB.NET project, and all I want to do is open it in my VB application so that I can browse through it. In VB6, I could just use a "Data" object but I've found nothing like it in .NET, and despite searching Google for variations of '"ms access" "vb.net 2003",' I've come out pretty much empty handed. Any, and all, help is appreciated.

orry for the disappointing newbie question :/
