Re: MS Access Connection with database password

Hi again, It's an Access 2000 database and I've changed the password to a single a, still no show :( The database is downloaded on a regular basis and I need to extract some data from it, so I have no control over version or password. Thanks a lot /Kjell "Richard Quadling" skrev i meddelandet news:CAKUjMCWXJfFvC_0vKq7Y4_QX-4mLumE=TOU4_v+s=YjSPZQ1VA@mail.gmail.com... 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.

Hi, I'm trying to connect to a MS Access database that has a database password set. 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
