Help with VB

I am trying to make a program that will read and write info to and from a server. I am not sure on what command to use and how to do it. It is a program that I want to mae for work so that I can get users info and update it when needed. If anyone has some kind of an example that I could look at that would be greatly appreciated. Also if someone has an idea on how to do that please let me know. Well what I want to do is pull a users info off of a file and then be able to update that info without using and webbrowsers. This is on unix system. Basically I want to call a username (ie, test) then it pulls up the info for user "test". Like name, address, phone number, and account info. All I really need to do is figure out how to call that info and then write back to it. Once I figure that out I can get the rest of it from there!

Thanks for any help!

What's it going to be used for? You could write an Access database application to do that.

 

I am going to use this for some stuff for work.
