ADO.NET and Access2k with a password

In VB6 I used a password in Access 2000 and it worked great

PHP Code:


		
			
 AccessConnect = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _

                    "Dbq=mydata.mdb;" & _

                    "DefaultDir=" & App.Path & "\data\;" & _

                    "Uid=;Pwd=george;"



    con.ConnectionString = AccessConnect

Now in .NET and ADO.NET I used the following below and get an error. If I leave the password out and unset the password on the database it works all day and night. What am I missing?

PHP Code:


		
			
 connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password=george;User ID=Admin;Data Source=" & Apath & "\mydata.mdb;"

cnCode = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionString)

Error
FormName: frmMain
Error Message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.
Error Type: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException
Error Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine

This works I had a guy from another forum post this and it did the trick. Thought others who are interested in using Access databases with passwords may find this handy.

PHP Code:


		
			
 Dim oOleDbConnection As OleDb.OleDbConnection

Dim strPassword As String = "password"

Dim strDataBasePath as string = "c:\project\database.mdb"



Dim sConnString As String = _

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _

"Data Source=" & strDataBasePath & ";" & _

"Jet OLEDB:Database Password=" & strPassword & ";"



oOleDbConnection = New OleDb.OleDbConnection(sConnString)

oOleDbConnection.Open()
