Simple Database program in VB.net


Question

Now I know simple might be the wrong word to use but hey. I am trying to make a simple database program where u can just basically add things to a database and query them with display and search .. iam somewhat of n00b .. so i was hoping if someone can help me with a site with tutorials for something related to my project ..

example:

the program is ment for an lawfirm office. so they can add cases to the database and query them when needed, some features could be somthing like (no i havent drawn the program yet) querying for a specific date or advanced search or so on

i chose VB.Net because i have access to it, also i thought it would be the best most stable, fastest, solution? i could be wrong, ideas?

I suggest using MySQL.

It's free*, it will work well in a networked environment with multiple users, and can easily do everything you want.

*Since you are doing this for a law office, I'll leave it to you to read the licensing for MySQL. :D

Before we go into that, how will the application be used? Will it be on a single desktop? Will the database need to be accessed from multiple desktops? Is there a designated server in the office?

If you're planning to have it only accessable on a single machine then Access might be a better choice for you. You don't have to go out of your way to learn SQL when you already know how to use an Access DB and you want a simple program anyways. :no:
