you could do many things, but if you are talking about a VB 6.0 like page where you keep the controls and "DataBind" them...You can use Formview

See

for more explanation.

Other controls like gridview, repeater and detailsview are also options

Use a connection string, establish a connection for access DB u have to use OLEDB. Write a query to retrun d data, populate d returned result in textbox.
