Hi experts,
I have a quick question for you.
I have a program, written in VB6, that uses a Data object to access a Microsoft
Access database. The database has recently had a password put onto it.
Now, instead of just access the database though the Data object, I need to
input this password so that the program can use the database. But, I'm not
100% sure on the how.
I'd appreciate any help in this matter.
Sean
Just put Password=MyPassword in the connection string.

I don't know whether you are using ADO, DAO or one of the DataControls but the following refers to
ADO:

Ah, thank you very much, that did the trick.

In the same vein, is there any cute work-arounds for handling "pass-thru"
or linked tables from another database (as400, oracle). That is without skipping
access and opening the table with a separate connection.
i know how to put password=mypassword, (using ado)
but if the case is, i used adodc ? how ????

The adodc has a connection string, just add it to that.
