You need to fill the shape
OvalShape1.FillColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond
You can't move the shape on top of other controls but other shapes

Instead of labels maybe use rectangular shapes or use picture boxes?

Your login code doesn't make much sense

 If UsernameTextBox.Text = "" And PasswordTextBox.Text = "" Then
            MessageBox.Show("Enter your username & Password", "Login Error", 

should be :

 If UsernameTextBox.Text = "" Or PasswordTextBox.Text = "" Then
            MessageBox.Show("Enter your username & Password", "Login Error", 

Which version of vb do you use? Also show us the code you have done sofar, otherwise I don't know where to start off.

Labels have only one forecolor. You need to use a picture box, rich textbox or create your own cutom control.

Are you pointing to your database location? Something like this:

 AccessConnect = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
                     "Dbq=nwind.mdb;" & _
                     "DefaultDir=C:\program files\devstudio\vb;" & _
                     "Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"

You are not pointing to your tabase location, something like:

 AccessConnect = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
                     "Dbq=nwind.mdb;" & _
                     "DefaultDir=C:\program files\devstudio\vb;" & _
                     "Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"

To use the shapecontrol you need to load down the powerpack off the MS website and folow the install instructions:

You are confusing me with headline of yourThread and what you wrote underneath. What is you question?

Not sure what you want. You click a button and this moves the mouse to the coordiantes? In the form or in thr screen? Or you want to click one button and this triggers another button to get clicked?

just glancing over the code it might be better to use the string.equal method or string.compare?

    If _
                strRow(0).ToLower.Contains(strSearch) Then

Can't see how you declared 'expirationdate'. It looks! like 'datepicker.value' is a date where as expirationdate is string?

Maybe the Tag propert can help you.

For Each objControl As Control In form1.Controls
   If TypeOf objControl is Button Then
       If objControl.Tag <> objControl.Text Then
           '---Changes have been made!---
       End if
   End if
Next
