A simple question: how do I connect my VB.net form to my MS Access database so that I can query the database from the button on the form. I mean the connection rather than the query.

A short answer is: use ADO.NET. Please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms971485.aspx[^].

I usually highly recommend this CodeProject article to get started: Using ADO.NET for beginners[^].

Good luck,
