Are you still using Access as the database?

@Eigenvector: Unless you are working on a project for a history class, I wouldn't start my learning-to-program regime with WinForms, Visual Basic, and Access.
As someone who has worked with these technologies for longer than I would care, I would highly suggest starting with ASP.NET MVC, C#, and some edition of SQL Server.
If nothing else, these newer technologies have better designs, communities, active coders, and people with fresh novice-level questions.

WinForms/C# still has lots of active coders :/

@evildictaitor: Perhaps. But, does WinForms / VB / Access?

C# has many more developers than VB, and lots of sample code on the Internet is posted using syntax closer to C# than to VB, so I think C# is a better choice for a beginner.
And Access programming isn't particularly common these days, but much of the syntax is just SQL.

@evildictaitor: Whenever you have to design something that connects your data to people, I find it handy to think about how, and where, the users expect it to work. Writing UI is messy, no matter which road you take. So if you're good with something, stick with it for a while. If not, don't start with some legacy mess.
By the time our mathematical little friend here figures out what he is doing, do you really think people are going to still be using WinForms?

In short, yes. It's quick, stable and apparently MS is going to keep supporting it although it receives next to no new features. You don't have to screw around with XAML and the full framework is available to you (as opposed to "metro" apps). It's clearly not MS's direction, but yes, people will still be using it.
