Return Value
Workspace
Remarks
Once you use the CreateWorkspace method to create a new Workspace object, a Workspace session is started, and you can refer to the Workspace object in your application.
Workspace objects aren't permanent, and you can't save them to disk. Once you create a Workspace object, you can't alter any of its property settings, except for the Name property, which you can modify before appending the Workspace object to the Workspaces collection.
You don't have to append the new Workspace object to a collection before you can use it. You append a newly created Workspace object only if you need to refer to it through the Workspaces collection.
To remove a Workspace object from the Workspaces collection, close all open databases and connections and then use the Close method on the Workspace object.
Example
This example uses the CreateWorkspace method to createMicrosoft Access workspace. It then lists the properties of the workspace.
