New user.. Question about Database.

Hi. I am new to VB 6 and I am trying to learn new cool stuff. I am currently trying to learn how to connect VB to databse and store data in an access file.. I haven't yet perfected it and I've run into many problems but I'm getting there and If I run into any problem I will ask here, my question isn't really that hard but since I am a newbie and I wanted to ask this before I start working on the actual thing. Right so in VB can we make the background look totally different with background image and stuff, so if I call for stored data and they don't appear in boxes instead like this..

Name: _______________

Age: _________________

Countery: ______________

etc

Sorry if the question is totally stupid, like I said I'm a noob :P I think it would look much cooler if it is possible, I think it is I've seen it on one of the examples somewhere so just wanted to know how it's done.

PS: Sorry about misleading title :( I was aiming for a more database oriented question but I think I've got it so I edited it, can't edit the title!

You will still need to use textboxes if you allow editing or use Label controls instead - whatever control you use make sure borders are set to none.
Also, you can use Line control to create effect that you need.
Labels support transparency (BackStyle property) and textboxes don't so if you need that then search forum for "transparent textbox".

Also, if you don't want to use line controls, you can use pairs of labels: 1 for the caption and the other for the db data, just make the label AutoSize=True and use underlined font.
