Connecting Forms to Database

C

Chris H

I have a custom form that connects to an access 97
database. This works fine until I password protect the
database. When trying to connect to a password protected
database I get the err “Cannot start your application. The
workgroup information file is missing or opened
exclusively by another user.”
My code is as follows (with thanks to Jumpstart Outlooks

Function Item_Open()
Dim sSelect
‘On Error Resume Next
If Item.SenderName = “” Then
sSelect
= “V:\ServiceSelector\ServiceSelector.mdb”
Set m_adoSerSel = OpenAccessDB
(sSelect, “admin”, “irate”)
End If
End Function

Function OpenAccessDB(sDBPath, UID, PWD)

Dim objADOConn
Dim sConn
‘On error Resume next

sConn = “Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; “ &_
“Data Source=” & sDBPath & “; “ &_
“User ID=” & UID & “; “ & _
“Password=” & PWD & “; “

Set objADOConn = CreateObject(“ADODB.Connection”)
ObjADOConn.Open sConn

If (err = 0) And (objADOConn.State = adStateopen)
Then
Set OpenAccessDb = objADOConn
Else
Set OpenAccessDB = Nothing
End If

Set objADOConn = Nothing

End Function


Please Note I’ve commented out the error handlers to help
debugging (but it didn’t help that much)
