The simplest method is

  • connect to the database
  • select records from one or more tables (query)
  • copy the data from the retrieved records into a display control

The type of interface you use will depend on the type of database. For example, if you are using a SQL database then you can use SqlClient (preferred). If some other source such as Access, Oracle, etc. you could use OleDB. Examples of both can be found here

If you are using VB6 then you are in the wrong forum. I'm moving you to the VB 4-5-6 forum.
