    hi

    A similar question was answered to a little while ago....
    as follows:

    Hope it works for you

    DBEngine.SystemDB = "MyMDW"
    Set MyWs = DBEngine.CreateWorkspace("", "Username", "Password")

    Set DB = MyWs.OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\database.mdb")

    'Database password protected
    Set DB = DBEngine.OpenDatabase(App.Path & "\database.mdb", False, False, _
    ";pwd=password")



    Vale!
