Create Access file

I know how to connect with an Access database and perform all actions with it from matlab, but is there any way of creating the .mdb file from matlab without having to make manually?

I tried creating an activeX server but when using the DBEngine.CreateDatabase it says "Couldn´t find the ISAM installable file" (or something like that, due to I get that sentence in Spanish and don´t know how it is in English exactly)

Thanks in advance

This might be an issue related to MS Access itself (not MATLAB). See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/209805

Your problem is the same as mine, and I want to set up the password of the access file through the .m file.

Hope someone will give some help :-)

I have an idea to have new access file: create an access file manually, then use "copyfile" function to create many another access files.

:-) such a stupid idea

[Guillermo Rodriguez]

lol! I just need one file, and the idea is to be able to take the program I´m developing in Matlab to many different computers just taking the Matlab code :P

May be you should create .mdb file by visual basic, then use Matlab to associate with it later.

I'm trying to solve this problem these days for my project.
