I have to create an access db and then open it to run some queries. I have added a reference to MS DAO in my project. Here is what I have so far.

Dim NewDB As New DAO.DBEngineClass
            
NewDB.CreateDatabase("test.mdb", DAO.LanguageConstants.dbLangGeneral, DAO.DatabaseTypeEnum.dbDecrypt)

Dim myConn As New System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)};Dbq=test.mdb;Exclusive=1;Uid=admin;Pwd=")

myConn.Open()

The myConn.Open() fails because it says the db is already in use. I tried setting NewDB = Nothing but that doesnt work either. How do I get NewDB to release its connection to the database?
