Hi.

I use this code to connect to my database at work.

Set con = New ADODB.Connection
con.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
con.Open ThisWorkbook.Path & "\my.mdb"

Now I want to protect the database with a password. But it does't work.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply!

It works fine. Thought I tried this before but i must have done
something wrong then.

If someone have time to help me i have one more question.

I have my db-file on a network and i want to put my database in a folder
there noone else but me has writing rights.

Of course I want other users to be able ot connect to my database, but
how do i do that?

Is it possible at all?

I have heard somthing about a mdw-file but how do I create such file?

Thanka in advance
