I use this Connection Code to insert, update & delete the content

HTML

Dim constr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("../databasename.mdb;")& "Jet OLEDB:Database Password=mypassword;"

Which Work Fine,

Now when I Load the Data into Some Page from Database, the Webpage Display Error & Redirect to Error Page.

For Load Data I use Following code :

ASP.NET

<asp:AccessDataSource ID="ADSource" runat="server" DataFile="~/databasename.mdb" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Table]"></asp:AccessDataSource>

1) Why, Its because I didn't add password into above code? If Yes, How to Add Password into Above Code?

2) How to Set above Connection Code into Web.config & Use it into Webpage?

The AccessDataSource will not connect to an Access database that is password-protected; to retrieve data from a password-protected Access database, use the SqlDataSource control.
