i am newbie in vb, i have experience with ms access vba
i wonder if i can store a data table in vb as i do in ms access, in other words can vb work as a front and back end, or do i have to use another database engine as a back end.
No, you'd use ADO to latch onto a data source, such as Access. ADO and data sources id a whole topic in itself; you might want to check out ADO on MSDN.
You can also read/write flat files natively or with FSO (file systems object.)
You create front-ends with VB and connect to whatever database you choose to use, which among other things could be an MDB file.
Although you can use data controls for data-binding similar to what you find in Access forms, most professional programmers tend not to use them due to their inherent inflexibility and inefficiency.
