Hi,

I'm new to the thing called Database and VB. What is the best Database to store customer information (Name, Tel + Scanned Image //I know storing image in Database is a bad idea, so it would be location path)? The maximum user would be 2. I don't have server. And I want very good backup, in case things gone bad. Also, we want "free" stuff. So, which would be the best based on your experience?

If you use SQL Server Express Edition which is free, you will have limitations in database size. Because, storing images in database will increase database size very fast.
As you need a free solution, i will suggest you to store it on disk. Which may be local machine or any file server. You can use FileZilla server which is free FTP server to keep your files OR FTP service of IIS which also comes with windows OS.

Hope it helps.
