Connect gives me a selection of database type. &nbsp;Access is already selected. &nbsp;Do I add your solution to Access to give me 'Access;pwd=password' or is there something I'm missing? &nbsp;When I do this, I get an error 3170 saying 'couldn't find installable ISAM'. The ;pwd=password has always worked well for me with the Set db=OpenDataBase.....(&quot;data<wbr />basename&quot;,<wbr />False,Fals<wbr />e,&quot;;pwd=pa<wbr />ssword&quot;).<br />

For Access database you can ommit the type, just use &quot;;pwd=pass&quot;<br />

Thanks, MikeP. &nbsp;It worked and saved me a lot of re-programming.<br />

Is there a way to enter an ACCESS database password in a data control object on a VB form? &nbsp;If so, how do I do it? It seems like there should be a simple way to put it in the properties someplace but I can't find it. I'm using ACCESS 97 and VB 5.0. &nbsp; --BOB

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
