Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this is the code I recently used in VB2008 to write a record to an Access 2007 .accdb file without binding elements to a form. It works well and will even save the record if the file is already open.

Public Sub UpdateRecord()

'Location of the database (This one is saved in the bin/debug folder)

Dim dbPath As String = "File name here"

'Connection string, you must use this provider for Access 2007

Dim connStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" _
& "Data Source=" & dbPath & "; Persist Security Info = False;"

'The following Using statement forms a connection to the database; all variables within the Using block have local scope

Using connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(connStr)

Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
Dim trans As OleDb.OleDbTransaction '

connection.Open() 'Open connection to database

cmd.Connection = connection

trans = connection.BeginTransaction(IsolationLevel.ReadCommitted)

cmd.Transaction = trans

cmd.CommandText = "SQL Statement Here"

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() 'Execute command
trans.Commit() 'Save record

'Exit Using block, automatically closing connection to database

End Using
End Sub
