Hello

Can someone help me to open a Access database (protected with a password) in
my application in Visual Basic 2008. I use Oledb connection to link my Application
to the database. When my Access database is not protected with password
my connection goes well, but I don't know how to set my password of my database
in my application.
I have "googled", but I can't find something that works for me. Pleas Help! :((

That's the code that I have at moment:

Dim connectiestring As String
connectiestring = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='" & My.Settings.LocatieDB & "'"
Dim connectie As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectiestring)
Dim SQLcommand As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
connectie.Open()
SQLcommand.Connection = connectie
connectie.Close()

Yep...if you used Security-->Set Database Password, you have to include "Jet OLEDB:Database Password=password" in the connection string.
Have you tried adding ";Password=password;" to the end of your "connectiestring"?

Is it secured with a database level password or a Workgroup? If it is a workgroup you would probably have to provide the user as well so also add "User Id=whatevertheuseridis" to the connection string.

password doesn't work with OLE for a database-wide password.

You have to use "Jet OLEDB:Database Password"
