bypassing password protected files

[J. Freed]

I've written an application that will read all the mdb files in a given
directory and extract connection information for each table, reading off of
the MsysObjects table. Problem: if the system hits a password protected mdb
file it waits for a password or someone to hit Cancel. Since this application
will need several hours to scan I'd like to run it after hours; obviously,
hitting a password protected file will bring the scan to a dead halt.

Is there a way to extract some property from an mdb to detect whether or not
it's password protected without attempting to open it and therefore
triggering the passord request?

TIA....
