The like above tells me "When you use the /pwd command-line option, it
always applies to a Security Account password. that /pwd is for the user"

How do I specify the "database password" via a command line switch?

The link above applied to Access2002 and there is a similar KB article for
Access2000. I am running Access2003, but I assume the old meaning for /pwd
still applies in 2003.

There's no command line switch for the db password. You supply the password
when prompted, before the db opens.
