Remarks
You can use the CreateDataAccessPage method when designing a wizard that creates a new data access page.
The data access page you specify for filename can be a data access page that you have created specifically to be used as a template, or any other data access page in the database identified by the filename argument, and a setting of False for the createnewfile argument.
The CreateDataAccessPage method creates a minimized data access page. If you want to display the new data access page when created, you must use the Restore method.
