Just wanted to thank everyone for all of thier help. HAHA! - I figured it
out.... Using a HEX editor i was able to find the Property0966\1\3\0. inside
of my adp file. This is the property that sets the database connection
timeout. Setting the last number (0) to a 5 allowed the connection to 'time
out' and therefore allowed me change my connection information using 'file'
and 'connection' in Access. If it is set to 0 it will never time out and will
never connect if the database is not valid. Then you locked up!!!! Hope this
helps someone else.
