A. Only mysql.com has mysql for download. Mysql is open source so its basically free for download. Its the usage you give it that may cause you to need to pay for a license. read the EULA agreement in mysql.com for more info.

B. To connect to a Vb application you would need an ODBC driver. Also available from the mysql.com website.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

I already downloaded a connector which is the MySQl Connector/ODBC 3.51

Create the ODBC data source using odbcad32.exe to be a system DSN and then connect as you would any other database from the VB, have a look at

http://www.connectionstrings.com

for details of the format.
For the VB specific stuff post in the VB forum.
Just out of interest , how do you think you would do it ?
