Question

I’ve password protected an mdb file but then I cannot access it on vb.net. I don’t know the correct code for defining the password.
this is my current code, I know its wrong, but I don’t also know the correct code:

conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=F:\search.mdb;pwd=nit"

Answer 1

conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\myFolder\myAccess2007file.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword;" 

is the correct format for your connection string.
