You can incorporate either Excel or and Access database into a VB application, but I'm not sure why you want to do that. You really have very similar capabilities with VBA (Visual Basic for Applcations) that are provided with VB. VBA is built into all versions of Office applications and gives you the ability to do forms and alike in additional to all the functionality of the application.
However, if you want to go the VB route, see if your version has the Crystal Report add-in. That will give you a very powerful reporting engine.
