HOW to access ms access database with a password?

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

I believe the connection string should look like this - "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\mydatabase.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword;" Here is a link to a site which can help with connection string questions - ConnectionStrings.Com HTH

Answer 2

"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.
