I would like to protect my ACCESS database with a password. How do I configure it in access and what I must add in my ASP file?

 

that is my code for connection:

Set MyConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
openStr = "driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
"dbq=" & Server.MapPath("\db.mdb")
MyConn.Open openStr,"",""

 

Thank you

oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
           "Dbq=c:\somepath\mydb.mdb;" & _
           "Uid=admin;" & _
           "Pwd="

Thanks for your reply.

There are different kinds of driver configuration, so could you please add those things with the password the way they are suppose to be to my code? I tried myself and keep getting a error msg.

Thank you.

How do I configure it in Access? I configured a password in the security options, but shall I configure also a username? where how?

Admin is the default password if not set user and group permissions.

there are many programs that can open the "Password Protected Office Files", I used one and opened a password protected .mdb file in seconds...

 

it is better to protect it on the server, I suggest renaming the .mdb file to .asp file, it will function normally, but would never be downloadable through a web browser.
