Yes it is possible to provide the password when you open the database file in Access:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-41815535-1">C:\&lt;path to office&gt;\MSACCESS.EXE /pwd &lt;password&gt; YourDatabase.mdb</code></pre>

thanks Mate Farkas<br />
if you try this, you will see that &nbsp;it is not possible<br />
&quot;pwd&quot; is not working for a &quot;Database Password&quot;<br />
<br />
<br />
And for PatHartman<br />
the Command line I can close in many ways, it can be a vb project, and some other ways

I encrypted the database with a password, however, I want to be able to open the database with a command line which should include the password, because I see no other way to protect the application except for using a password. Does anyone have a suggestion how I can include the database password in the command line?

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
