i followed pirates instructions from this post

in line 6, which is
ADOXcatalog.Create "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & "c:\newdata.mdb"
i get unhandled exception of type #System.runtime.InteropServices.COMException'
Additional Information: Could not find installable ISAM.

pirate or somebody else: any ideas what is going on and how to fix this?
