I found a couple pretty easily, though part of this does depend on what you want to use:

VB 5/6 Database program
ADO.Net Basic Database

I think you may want to bring in some form of Data Access Objects or ActiveX Data Objects that may help though part of this depends on what kind of app are you making: Windows, console or web?

As for the sql, excell or acess, I'd sum it up this way:
MS-SQL - This is the common Microsoft relational DB server software that can be good if you plan on having non-trivial databases.
Excel - This isn't for storing a DB to my mind, but other data go into spreadsheets.
Access - This is the simpler DB application that Microsoft has though this is part of Microsoft Office in terms of licensing I believe.
