Why is DBEngine undefined ???

This line ....
************
Set ws = DBEngine.CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "")
************
reports a error saying that DBEngine is undefined. But when I write the line VB suggests all available methods after I write the dot after DBEngine so why does the error come up ????
Pl ... help ... EE

Hmm, first thing that comes to mind is do you have a reference to DAO? (I think it's DAO anyway :P)

It worked fine for me:
Dim ws As Workspace
Set ws = DBEngine.CreateWorkspace("", "admin", "")
