I stand to be corrected here but from what I've seen the only tools for
creating a database are all geared toward SQL Server. MS-Access format
databases seem to have been left out in the cold. I have the impression
Microsoft would prefer if we stopped using them.

That said, VisData was a stand alone application (visdata.exe) in the Visual
Studio folders, so there is no reason not to set it up as an external
application from VS.Net (Tools -> External tools).
