I"m with RIVER, keep the VB plain and use the tools it has built into it.

Back in the 1980's I worked on networked computers. When PC's came out in the 90's my Division bought it's own and it was a nightmare of mismatched and nearly useless computers. When we finally got a network and a merger in the late 1990's we finally got consistency and reliability. Even then, the damn network was so unstable with all the pieced together hardware and software that it took another two years and an absolute order to get all consistent software. Once that happened, everyone wondered why they didn't do it years before. Updates happened seemlessly and easily. The Network didn't crash every day.

It's better to be standard than nonstandard with lots of frilly stuff.
