Make sure you have a reference set to the ADOX object library then use the following code.

Dim objCatalog as ADOX.Catalog

Set objCatalog = New ADOX.Catalog
objCatalog.Create "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=c:\mynewdb.mdb"

I have tried this but can only access the database through access 2000.

Thanks

change provider from
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
to
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;"

' Get default Workspace.
Set wrkDefault = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)


' Make sure there isn't already a file with the name of
' the new database.
If Dir("c:\tstproj\proj2\NewDB.mdb") <> "" Then Kill "c:\tstproj\proj2\NewDB.mdb"

' Create a new encrypted database with the specified
' collating order.
Set dbsNew = wrkDefault.CreateDatabase("c:\tstproj\proj2\NewDB.mdb", _
dbLangGeneral, dbEncrypt)

' With dbsNew
' Debug.Print "Properties of " & .Name
' ' Enumerate the Properties collection of the new
' ' Database object.
' For Each prpLoop In .Properties
' If prpLoop <> "" Then Debug.Print " " & _

' Next prpLoop
' End With
