Excel Access Security Question
 

Hi,

I use the code below to query against an Access Database. I would like to
add a password to the database so that it can't be accessed unless you have
the password.

Would anyone know how I would add such a password to Access and how to adapt
the code below to use that password.

Thanks
Neil

Sub QueryAccessDatabase()

Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset


DatabaseLocation = Range("DatabaseLocation").Text
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
With conn
.Provider = "Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0"
.Open DatabaseLocation
End With


' Create a new Recordset Object.
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
With rst
' Connect this recordset to the previously opened connection.
.ActiveConnection = conn
.Open NSelect & NFrom & NWhere, conn,
adOpenDynamic,adLockBatchOptimistic
End With

'This line dictates where the results will be placed.
Sheets("Queries").Range(DestinationCell).CopyFromR ecordset rst

' Close the recordset.
Set rst = Nothing
' Close the Connection.
conn.Close

In Access ToolsSecuritySet Database Password

In your code:

With conn
.Provider = "Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0"
.Open DatabaseLocation, , "MyPassword"

End With
