How can I create a new ADO-Jet database? Once created I know how to add the tables, fields, etc. but I cannot seem to create a new, empty database from VB6 code.
 
Add a reference to the Microsoft ADO Ext 2.6 for Dll and Security and then use the following code:

Sub CreateDatabase()

Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog
cat.Create "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\new.mdb"

End Sub

Hope this helps Anything is possible, the problem is I only have one lifetime.
[cheers]
