What i want to do it create a custom front end for customers and other vital information. I am very familiar with SQL and vb.net so hopefully that will help me. I have done asp.net with retrieving info from access databases but my problem is this: In asp.net i just upload my .mdb file to the server and access it with code in my pages.

With vb.net, what am i going to need on the computer that installes the front end and customer.mdb file? Can i just put the .mdb in a specified folder and just go ahead and create a connection and access it through my custom front end, or do i need to have something like sql server installed or something. I have never done any win gui programs with databases, however i am pretty familier with sql, acess and vb.net so im sure with a little help from you guys i can figure it out. thanks again!
