Create Access DB in VB.NET

[Lee Dodd]

I need to create Access databases from VB.NET. When I include DAO as COM interop
reference, I get the dreaded "ISAM driver" error on the "CreateDatabase"
call. MSDN says DAO COM interop was never tested with .NET and is not supported.
Does any one have any suggestions on how to get to the DAO functions (CreateDatabase,
CompactDatabase, etc.) from .NET. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using ADOX (Microsoft ADO Ext 2.x for DDL and Security) via interop?
