How to release ADOX CoCatalog after creating a database?

Question

I create new MS Access database using the following (C++ Builder XE2):

CatalogPtr cat = CoCatalog::Create();
cat->Create(strConn.c_bstr());

The problem is that lock file is created and I want to delete it. I know I need to release the "cat" object but

cat->Release();

don't work and crashes my app. I also tried

cat->ActiveConnection = NULL;

before relase but no effect.. What to do?

Answer 1

You shouldn't call Release function, It automatically is called by CatalogPtr destructor.
