how is microsoft access used?

Question

i would like to use ms access to create a database for a visual basic program...it's a sign up login program.Please give me an example on how to use it..

Answer 1

For a login program you only need one Access Table. It should have 3 columns, and ID or index field, a username field and a password field, though you can probably get by with 2 if the usernames are all unique and can be used as a primary key.

Your VB project would use a connection string to query the database and verify that the username/password combo is valid, or to write new usernames/passwords.
