I want to create access database from VB.NET application.
On my machine, MS-Office is installed, and I am using the following code in my application to create Access database..

VB

Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog Dim sCreateString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" <database name> & ".mdb" cat.Create(sCreateString)

On my machine, this code works, but I tried my application on 64-bit machine running windows 7, and MS-Access not installed. I am getting error on following statement.

VB

cat.Create(sCreateString)

Kindly suggest for that, what can I do?

Solution 1

You need to have your Access DB present on the other machine. cat.Create() in your code above isn't creating an Access DB, it's creating a connection to a DB that already exists.

I am getting the error "Class Not Registered."

Is there any other way to create access database, that is, I don't want to install AccessDB on other machine..??
