You start by reading books. "Wrox Professional Visual Basic" and "Sybex Mastering Visual Basic" both contain very good sections on database programming. Don't expect us to be personal tutors and hold your hand through the learning process.

u can create a module and call it every time u need a connection

Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Module DBConnection
    Public Connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection()
    Public Function Open_DB_Connection() As String
        Try
            Connection.ConnectionString = "Server=.\SQLEXPRESS;" & _
                    "Database=DBName;Trusted_Connection=True"
            Connection.Open()
            Return "Success"
        Catch ex As Exception
            Debug.Print(ex.Message & "in DBConnection_Module")
            Return "Fail"
            Exit Function
        End Try
    End Function

    Public Function Close_DB_Connection() As String
        Try
            Connection.Close()
            Return "Success"
        Catch ex As Exception
            Debug.Print(ex.Message & "in DBConnection_Module")
            Return "Fail"
            Exit Function
        End Try
    End Function
End Module

calling DB connection in ur forms

Dim Open_DB_Con As String
Open_DB_Con = Open_DB_Connection()

--your SQl query part goes here

Dim Close_DB_Con As String
Close_DB_Con = Close_DB_Connection()
