Copy a pre-existing .mdb file is the best way.
The same is true for most of the other filebased database formats that ADO.NET can connect to, such as Excel files. Since a file based database system is using the filesystem as it’s host and API for communication with the outside world (as opposed to say MSSQL which communicates using TCP-IP), it quite natural to use System.IO for actions that in say MS-SQL would be done with T-SQL or system stored procedures or a data specific API that targets thoses (say SMO in SQL server’s case).
COPY model.mdb newdb.mdbis the create DB commandDEL newdb.mdb is the dropDB command, etc.
