Solution 1

Simple Movie Database in C# using Microsoft Access[^]
This is a small application that might help you along the way. Considering the date on the application I'm expecting that it is in dotNet3 or 3.5, but it should translate fairly well to dotNet4.

That was EXACTLY what I was looking for, Thank you very much for helping.
But I was wondering, Are "Access dbs better that SQL"?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 19-Jan-12 4:55am

Access is hardly better because it is just file-based or file-server based, not even client-server. However, it highly depends on the purpose.

See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Access
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_server
vs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client%E2%80%93server
