Need easy help with the new VB Express 2005

[wundrlik]

I'm having trouble porting over an old VB6 program to VB Express.

In a nutshell - all I need to do is use a form with a textbox (text entry)
and a drop down list (from a Microsoft Access MDB) and create a set of
directories based on the drop down (ties into a separate table in the MDB)
with the textbox text as the root directory.

any thoughts?

all of my old code was using ADO and the expressions have changed enough that
I'm totally lost figuring out where I need to link data in.

I guess I'd start by asking how to populate a combo box with data from an
Access table. One I know that much the rest should be easier.
