Typically how this is done is to use ASP controls on the page, then collect the data on postback.

Build your form, and add a asp:Button control labeled, say, "Save Data". In the Click event for that button, go through all of the input controls and save the values into local variables. Use the Trim method on text values to clean them up. If you are chosing to do your validation server-side (although using the Validation controls are often a better way to go) you would validate the information now.

Then, build an INSERT command using this data and store it into your database. It has been a very long time since I've used Access, but I believe it supports parameterized statements: use those, rather than building your INSERT inline. That way, you don't have to worry about single quotes or injection attacks. Once the data is stored, hide the Panel with the data input by setting its Visible property to False and show a panel with a "Your data has been saved" message. Or, you could use Response.Redirect to take the user to a different page.
