RE: [PHP-DB] MS Access Connection with database password

No, I haven't found them :( Please direct me... Password lenght and content is not a problem (I guess!) since I tried changing it to a simple small "a" without any further success. Thanks a bunch! /Kjell From: "Richard Quadling" <rquadling@gmail.com> Sent: Thu, 5.6.2014 10:06 To: "Kjell Hansen" <kjell@kejpa.com> Cc: php-db <php-db@lists.php.net> Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] MS Access Connection with database password Did you read the notes regarding password length, password content and Access version issues? Do any of these apply to you? I suspect one of them does.

According to http://www.connectionstrings.com/access/ you use the folowing as a connection string in such cases: Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\myFolder\myAccessFile.accdb; Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword; Which I translate into $dbcon = new PDO( 'odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:\\exampledb.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword;' ); But it doesn't work :( When I have removed the password, there's no problem connecting but not with password set. I don't make the database, it's maintained elsewhere and I plan to download it regularly and extract data from it so I need to connect to the database with the password set. Any help or hints are deeply appreciated! /Kjell -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- Richard Quadling Twitter : @RQuadling EE : http://e-e.com/M_248814.html Zend : http://bit.ly/9O8vFY
