what is the best choise and what I need considre to use front end
bwteen 2 choices?

Well a big difference is that you can actually create a front end with VB
dot.net but you can't with VBA.

VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is used inside of Office apps like
Access, Word, Excel, etc.. It is not a separate development platform. Did
you mean classic VB as in VB 6? That IS a development platform but is no
longer supported by Microsoft and most consider it a dead end for new
development.

You could of course use neither of those and use Access for the front end
and when doing so utilize VBA code within.
