DB/Reporting :: Charity Library Management System - VS2010

I have read syedwaqasali95's thread but found it rater confusing so thought I would post my query separately I am trying to build a library system for a local blind person's charity using Visual Basic. Their current system of recording is an Excell Spreadsheet that was created for them by someone else. What they have asked for is something more User Friendly.I thought about using Access first, but I wanted to hide the Data where it couldn't be modified by accident, and I wanted to make it as user friendly as possible so I opted for a VB WindowsFormApplication that will have a simple user interface albeit having to get more complicated under the hood.The library has two types of items that they lend, Audio Books, and Music CD's. Also there will need to be a record of the members creating three tables for my database.I should state that the library has a laidback lending approach whereby it is less worried about how long you borrow a book or CD, rather it just wants to keep a record of the location of said items.

I need help/pointing in the right direction with the following things 1) I want to prevent any ability to directly edit the datagridview data instead I want the user to highlight the entry in the datagridview, and then click an edit button which will open a form containing the record to be edited.

2) I want to be able to call information from the borrowers database, and to be able to apply it to the books data, so that the user can see who has what book at any given time.

e.g. the user highlights a record in datagridview and clicks the "Lend" button, this pops out a form allowing the user to search/choose from the list of members, once a member has been selected the save button (or confirm lend) would add the member info to the book table and close the form

3) I have a large amount of data (1500 records) in the original excel document, I would like to import these (once the database is ready to be compiled) so that they don't have to be re-input.
