ODBC connection in vb.net through Code

Rachna0309 asked:

I use ODBC data source to connect vb.net application to MS ACCESS database.When I have to install it in my clients PC,I have to manually make ODBC connection
from(Control Panel ->Administrative Tools->Data source(ODBC)).
Now what I want to do is,include odbc connection string in vb.net code itself so that I dont have to manually create odbc connection in clients PC.Is it possible to do so??
If no,then is there any other alternative?
Thanks in advance.
