    Posted: 16 October 2008 at 5:55pm
Hi all,
I set a password for my access database, and changed database_connection.asp like this:
strDbPathAndName="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\domain\...\database.mdb; Jet OLEDB:Database Password=123456789;"

Everything work fine.

But when I tried to compact  & repair database, I got the message:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0034'
Bad file name or number
/forum/admin_compact_access_db.asp, line 107

Line 107 in admin_compact_access_db.asp is:  objFSO.CopyFile strDbPathAndName, Replace(strDbPathAndName, ".mdb", "-backup.mdb", 1, -1, 1)


Does anyone have any idea ? Any help would be appreciated.

Personally I would not bother password protecting the Access database as it is a complete waste of time and courses a number of issues.

It takes less then a few seconds to get into a password protected Access database using tools on the Internet that are widely available. We use them all the time when clients forget their passwords to their databases.

The best way to protect your Access database is place the database in a non public directory as described in the documentation below:-

Thanks Bruce for quick reply. I moved my Access Database to a folder above the root directory, but I want an extra protection for my database (for some reasons). Anyway, thanks for this helpful advice. I am still looking for a solution.
