database - Ghost .mdb File -

so today try, of things, create mdb file vb.net (2012) , dao. please see following:

dim myengine new dao.dbengine sub createmdbfile() myengine.createdatabase("c:\windows\test.mdb", ";langid=0x0409;cp=1252;country=0", 64) end sub

it seems work great. code executes, , have other subroutines create , populate tables. can retrieve info recordsets, whole 9 yards. there's 1 weird issue:

when open explorer, can't find mdb file. it's not there. mean, programme can find it, open it, populate , query -- far windows explorer concerned, there's nil there.

is win 8 bug? why won't mdb file show in windows explorer?

thanks in advance,

jason

when application not "run administrator" (uac) attempts write scheme folder (including programme files subdirectories), windows no longer returns error. instead, file saved in %localappdata%\virtualstore. behavior started in windows vista.

tip: don't save user files scheme folders.
