在VB.NET中可以用两种方式调用Access数据库：ADO.NET或者自动化(Automation)。

如果你是要操纵Access下的数据那么ADO.NET必然是首选。如果你要操纵Access下的Form,Report就必须使用自动化。

以下是一个示例：

1. 新建一个Window Forms Application.
2. 引用”Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access” 14.0(因为我的实现环境是MS Access 2010,Visual Studio 2010)
3. 数据库情况如下：
4. 代码如下：

5. Imports Access = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access
   Imports MyLog4Net
   
   Public Class Form1
       Private mlog As New MyLog4Net.MyLogger(GetType(Form1),"Debug.log")
   
       Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object,e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
           Dim OAccess As Access.Application
           Dim OFD As New OpenFileDialog
   
           Try
               OFD.Multiselect = False
               OFD.Filter = "Access File 2010|*.accdb"
               OFD.ShowDialog()
               OAccess = New Access.Application
               OAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase(OFD.FileName,False)
               OAccess.Visible = True
               OAccess.DoCmd.OpenReport("TestTable1Report",Access.AcView.acViewPreview)
           Catch ex As Exception
               mlog.ERROR(ex.Message)
           End Try
       End Sub
   End Class
