sample vb.net application that connects to an MS Access db.

Hi,
Where can I find a sample vb.net application that connects to an MS
Access database and does sql statement calls to retrieve, update
etc...?

I do not have the vb resource kit and cannot download it due to
internet connections where I am.

I have spent many hours and failed to do this as a new comer
to vb.net. Perhaps I could download a sample app and copy and paste
the cde from there! Or perhaps someone could just tell me the lines of
code to put in the app. All i want is to connect, do a select and then
an update. The db is in a folder on my pc.

Thanks

I recently started a co-op/internship at a company and they are looking to migrate a large legacy supported application from OLEDB to SQL Server.

I stumbled upon linked tables in an OLEDB file to an ODBC source (such as SQL Server) and...
