I have yet to find a way to create an access database from within vb.net. I can work with a database for creating/deleting tables, columns, rows, etc. but have to create a blank database in Access first. Any help would be appreciated. It was easy in previous versions of vb but can't seem to find a way in vb.net.

A quick search of google would of brought this up ; )
 
Also don't forget the quick and dirty filecopy of a prebuilt Access mdb
file.

Here's a code generator that creates all the VB.Net logic needed to create
an Access database on the fly. You need to have a reference to ADOX in your
project for it to be successful. There is no native .Net capability to do
this, otherwise.

Thanks for help. I'm glad I wasn't imaging things in that M'soft in their infinite wisdom didn't include a simple "CreateDataBase" method on one of the DB related classes like previous versions of Visual Basic.
