Im not yet into in vb.net programming, but according to my experience in VB6 programming, when I use Microsoft Access as the database in my projects, then the target client dont need to install Microsoft Access as long as they need to have required MDAC, right!?

I wonder if I use SQL Server 2000 as my Database, would i need to install it to my target client?

So then, which is better to use?
 
Yes thats correct. When using Microsoft Access as your database the client PC doesnt have to have Access installed , as long as they have MDAC then your application can connect to it.

SQL Server will require that the client can connect to a database served by SQL Server or MSDE, but not neccessarily on each client PC - it could be on a server that the clients can access, but either way SQL server is required to host the database unlike an Access database.
