I am using ADO to create an encrypted database, this is the code I use
Code:
Dim cat As New ADOX.Catalog
cat.Create ("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:\new.mdb;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=True;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5;")
If I use Engine Type 4 it throws an invalid arguement error up.
I can only create an Access 2 version or Access 2000.
Does anybody know why I can't create an Access 97 version.
Does anybody know the best way to create a database through code so that anyold person can't look at the contents, I'm not sure if this is the best method.
Thanks

Hi gary
I might be talking out of my arse but i think you need to use jet 3.5 for access97.
it might work

Cheers Ian
I'll try that and see what happens

I'm fairly new at that stuff, but is Engine Type=5 not what you need for a 4.0 Jet provider ? If you specify Engine Type=4 would be for the 3.51 Jet...
...just reaching here.... actually asking as much as giving hints...

I have tried using 3.5 but that doesn't work either.
I have used the type 4 to compact into an access 97 database through ADO using 4.0 and that works fine.
It is not a massive problem but it's just nice to have that function
