Open Database

Hi there,

Q1. I'm using Access as a database for my application. I want it as a maximum security that it can be (password,encrypted) so no tool can break it, How?

Q2. I'm using

Set gDB = OpenDatabase(DatabasePath, False, False)

to open my Access database, if the database is secured with password, where to put the password in the above command?

Q3. Why Access XP database is not opened with the above command? I have to convert it to Access 97 database each time I amend my database!

Well, you can password protect an Access Database or table, and then use that password and username in the connection string, but Access is not all that strong when it comes to security. What is the scope of the application?

This is a connection string to access MS Access Database:"Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};dbq=test.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=pass;"

The user id is "Admin",and password is "pass".
