It was my fault to say at the end

I got it all squared away now.

There are more problems...

I installed Ms-Access on the computer and found the program that makes workgroups - I made my own .mdw file, too.

But now, every time I try to run my program, I get the run-time error '3049', which says "Can't open database ''. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt."

Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Please Help.

Put up your code where you're opening your database (dummy up the user id and password, for your protection).

Sorry, What do you mean:

Put up your code

If you mean physically locate the code to be where I open the database, it is already there.

Otherwise, please explain further.

What he means is that you should post your code so we can take a look at it.

The only code, in this thread segment OR the other, was put up by JimBob:

DBEngine.SystemDB = "c:\windows\system\system.mdw"
Set ws = CreateWorkspace("Ticketing", "Admin", "", dbUseJet)


If I were you, after dbengine.systemdb I would add:

DBEngine.DefaultUser= "username" 'the user that has the authority to open the database
DBnEngine.DefaultPassword="" 'password for the above user

Then Open the database with:

Set ws=CreateWorkspace(C:path\database.mdb")

Marty: Thanks for the clarification. Here's the code I want to use

Code:

---

DBEngine.SystemDB = "C:\ServerProject\Server.mdw"
DBEngine.DefaultType = dbUseJet
Set UsrName = Workspaces(0).CreateUser("UserName", , "123456789")
Workspaces(0).Users.Append UsrName
Set WsNew = CreateWorkspace("SpecialWorkspace", "UserName", "123456789")
Workspaces.Append WsNew

---

Obviously, I had previously declared all those objects as the proper types.

I still get stupid error # 3049, though. I can't figure it out.

JHausmann: You can't use CreateWorkspace with a database name as the parameter. I did the other things you said, though, but I still get that error.

Any other suggestions? Am I writing the code wrong?

Please Help.

Sorry. You've got no code to open the database.

Instead of what you have


Use:

global gdbDbase as dao.database

'then in the subroutine
DBEngine.SystemDB = "c:\windows\system\system.mdw"
DBEngine.DefaultUser= "username" 'the user that has the authority to open the database
DBEngine.DefaultPassword="" 'password for the above user
Set gdbDbase=Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase(path\database.mdb")

Then, when you reference recordsets, to do the work, you preceed the command with the open database.

for example, to read all the records from a table you would do:

Dim rsTest as Recordset

set rsTest= gdbDbase.CreateSnapshot("select * from table")

(in ADO I would use:
SQLString="Select * from table"
Set rsTest = gdbDbase.OpenRecordset(SQLString, ))dbOpenSnapshot)
