You can create a Access Database using this code:

Set appAccess = CreateObject("Access.Application")
appAccess.NewCurrentDatabase "c:\test.mdb"

i am unsure about setting the password, etc..

This will create an Access DB for the version of Access that is installed on the users machine.
this also means, No Access, No Database.

Sub CreateDatabase(DatabaseName As String, Password As String)

   Dim objCat As Object 'New ADOX.Catalog
   Dim objConn As Object 'ADODB.Connection
   Dim strAlter As String

    ' create the database
    Set objCat = CreateObject("ADOX.Catalog")
    objCat.Create "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=C:\" & DatabaseName & ";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5"
    Set objCat = Nothing
   
   
   
    ' set the password
    Set cn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
    objConn.Mode = adModeShareExclusive 'opens in exclusive mode
    objConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\" & DatabaseName & ";Uid=;Pwd="
    strAlter = "ALTER Database Password " & Password & "``"
    objConn.Execute strAlter
    Set objConn = Nothing

End Sub
