I Suggest to use ASP.NET inside VB. Design the necessary controls on your form. Drag and drop a SQLClient [If SQL server] or SQLOLEDB for other databases. Set properties. Similarly drag and drop a dataset from data explorer and set the datasource to the connection. Select the tables and views you want. then for each control in form set the field from the dataset with the datasource and you are done. xcopy the folder contents to your live IIS folder and browse. If your database is continuouslyupdated, you can see the live changes on the client browser screen also.
All the best
