Need to learn quickly how to work with databases.

I am making a notes app. I realized that I couldn't save each note in a text file(such as width,height,content,top,left,etc etc) and that I need databases, because that would be the best option. I need to learn quickly how to work with databases in VB6( I guess I'll have to use Access). Some e-book or video tutorials suggestions?? All I need to do is save data from VB6 form, retrieve data, and if possible secure the database with a password form VB6. Thanks.
