The only solution is to copy an existing empty mdb, connect to this and
create tables etc...
No way to create a mdb from code (also with MS VB!!).

Hey Pony, I did some looking into this and found a way to do it.
(You'll want to thank  Albretch in comp.lang.java.programmer for this)

in order to CREATE a new db in Access you will have to:

To create a database for MS Access from Java do the following:

- Know what version of MS Access you have.
- Keep a blank (no tables, forms, etc...) copy of an .mdb
- Have a method in your Java app that will copy the (basically its your
template for databases) blank .mdb file to a new file, and the filename
will be the name of your database you want to create.
- Create the DSN on the fly by passing all driver config settings
inside the connect string.  Like so:

Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};DBQ=C:/MSAccess/<dbname>.mdb","<UsersId>","<password>");

If this doesn't work out for you, I'll throw together a quick sample
for ya and post it.
