In DAO I could catch a very specific error number when trying to open a DB
that
was password protected. Now ive switched over to ADO and an error is
returned
but it seems to me that i might not catch the same number all the time. The
error retuned
is a large negative number and the description says "Invalid password". I
guess what im
asking is whats the best way to programatically (and with ADO) find out if a
DB
is password protected. Im using VB to open the database.

You might have some luck examining the ADO connection errors collection
where further details can be found (Source, Help Context and native error).
We display them in our browser (Trial www.adoanywhere.com/cnet )

I have seen plenty of cases where programmers simply scan the error text for
'password'.

It is a basic open connection. I just want to know what
is the best way to catch an error when my program tries
to open a password protected database. I was gonna
scan for password instead but depending on the local
language that might not always work.
