I've created a basic form application in VB with an Access database, using Visual Studio 2017, that I hope you find helpful. You can download it here:

Inside the zip, there is a folder WindowsApp1. Put this folder in your ..\source\repos folder. There is also an Access database. You can put it anywhere, but you will have to change the connection string in these four places. Do it with a text editor, outside of Visual Studio.
..\source\repos\WindowsApp1\WindowsApp1\App.config
Line 7: connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\example.accdb"
..\source\repos\WindowsApp1\WindowsApp1\My Project\Settings.Designer.vb
Line 60: Global.System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\example.accdb")> _
..\source\repos\WindowsApp1\WindowsApp1\My Project\Settings.settings
Line 8: <ConnectionString>Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\example.accdb</ConnectionString>
Line 11: <value profile="(Default)">Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=D:\example.accdb
The application has a form bound to a DataSet via a BindingSource, like I mentioned in a comment. You have to write very little code.
