Creating Database file w/o Access or SQL

When I had VB 6.0 there was a feature that allowed you to create an Access
DB file w/o access. I cannot find the same feature in VB.net 2003, and I
don't have access to Access or an SQL server. Does anybody know how to do
this?

Regards,

Randy.

Hey Randy


One way is to reference the "Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.7 for DDL and Security"
library, this will provide you with
a Catalog Object:

Dim obj As New ADOX.Catalog
obj.Create ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\sample.mdb")

This will create the sample.mdb file, then you have to create the database
objects (tables, etc)

Use appropriate params etc for your DB the above object also exposes:

Table
Group
Column
Index
etc..

Hope this helps.
