do you mean inserting data to database ?

Saving to a database you will need a connection to the database. This is dependant on the database used (access, MySql, MS Sql etc.).

Once a connection has been established, you need to build a recordset (input from your respective fields) and then update the record, which will be a saved record in your database.

what kind of database you want to use?
And how far you doing this?

First off your question should probably be in the VB.net forum. That being said here's some material on building a database in VB 2008, for you to read. Once you have some code that you have a hard time getting it to work let us know.
