Update Access DB With Downloaded Data

[ags5406]

Novice to Visual Studio 2005 - in the past have used VB6, Excel VBA,
Access VBA.

I want to download a set of data daily from a website which I then put
into a text array. This part I've done and it works well.

I want to store new data in an Access 2003 database. So daily I want
to compare my new data to data in my Access db and then add certain
parts of the new data as new Access records if they fit a particular
criteria.

I've figured out how connect the DB and add the DB as a data source.
And I have created the TableAdapter.

I can't figure out how to actually get the data from the DB, compare
it to my new data, and get the new data back into the DB.

Any suggestions? Does it even sound like I'm on the right track? A
"for dummies" explanation would help. Thanks.

Private Function db_InsertPage(ByVal sURL As String, ByVal sImg As
String) As String

Dim sDbPath As String = "C:\crawl\dbo.index.mdb"

,[URL]) VALUES ('" & _

db_InsertPage = sID

InsertCommand.Connection = AccessConnection
