Client Server Distributed Apps Question

[alsosa62054]

Greetings,
I'm trying to develop a c/s app in vb.net. I have one solution with three projects: a front end project, a middle layer project and a backend. Then I have the database, which happens to be an Access database.
These projects are empty right now. This is my 10th try on c/s and I haven't had any luck.
Can someone help me as to how I can or should start? Should I use ADO.Net programatically or should I use the toolbox with drag and drop? And where should I put the ADO.Net objects, in the backend, or the middle layer?
This is a small app, it is only for learning purposes. If someone can find the time to guide my steps initially, I would only need some steps and I can run with the rest.
Thanks in advance. . .

1. Forget about the front end for now.

2. Design your database (or a reasonable subset of it)

3. Write CRUD (Create Retrieve Update Delete) methods in your data tier against the database. I would recommend using the ADO.NET command object, and not any bound controls.

4. Write NUnit tests that use the CRUD methods to make sure everything works

5. THEN write some front-end code.
