VC/Database, Opening a password protected MDB file using ADO

Opening a password protected MDB file using ADO

Author	Message
Caroline Middlebro #1 / 3	Opening a password protected MDB file using ADO Hi, I'm using ADO to write a database app and so far everything has been hunky dory. Now that I want to distribute it, I want to password protect the database file and hardcode the password into the app so others can't go nosing round the database. I've set up an ordinary database password, not user level security and my connection string is as follows: Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=mydb; pwd=mypw but when this tries to open the connection I get the following error: Code = 80004005 Code meaning = Unspecified error Source = Microsoft JET Database Engine Description = Could not find installable ISAM. Any ideas? Caroline ========================================= WarezBox UK - Custom Warez CDz Website : http://www.--*.com/ =========================================
