Is it possible to pass a Password from VB to Microsoft Access in runtime.

[FireViking]

I have created an App that uses a MSAccess database.I want to place a password for the DB to prevent prying eyes from seeing the contents, this process is easy enough from MSAccess. But when I try to run the App, it cant access the DB. Is there a way to pass the Password from my App to the DB on startup. I am using VB5 with Microsoft Access.
