Re: MS Access Connection with database password

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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

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!
