Why not use a DSN-less connection to access the Access MDB. Here is an example posted by JVP some time ago:

lconnstr = 'DBQ=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\NWIND.MDB;'+;
'DefaultDir=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98;'+;
'Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DriverId=281;'+;
'FIL=MS Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;'
lnconn = sqlstringconnect(lcconnstr)
This way you can keep the conenction information in a table (or whereever) and add to it as needed.
