What biometric device are you going to use? You'll need to use its driver/dll to get "fingerprint" data, and store that in the database. Until you know how it will return fingerprint data, you are kind of stuck.

Also, why are you using a 10 year old version of VB?

A while back i used the following and i believe the same manufacturer devices are adopted even in common laptops these days. It comes with an SDK with sample programs for almost all main stream languages. I used it with c# where i imported it's dll using System.runtime.Interop namespace.

Strong Authentication, Data Protection, Fingerprint Biometrics - DigitalPersona

Primarily SDK demo shows two functions

1. To register prints (it usually takes like four scans)
2. To verify prints (single input)

It can be stored in any database as binary data. I have used SQL Server in the past and for application needs, we only stored image file name in database where as the image file on disk as a single binary file.

If you've just bought a fingerprint reader, it should come up with an SDK already.
