connecting password protected access database in crystal reports via visual basic for

hello everybody
this problem is bothering me for last two days,i have an application in VB
with a password secured access database, in my Visual Basic application i
have added a form and am viewing crystal report... i made connection and
added fields to report but when i run it logon fails.. i have simply added
connection via wizard and have given pass word there...but when i opens the
report via Visual basic application it fails to open..i am using microsoft access as database
also i tried giving connection string : to my form load but still giving
error:
string is:
REPORT.DATABASE.LOGONSERVEREx "p2sOLEDB.DLL","PROJ.MDB
;"","","","OLEDB","PROVIDER=MICROSOFT.JET.OLEDB.4.0;DATA
SOURCE=PROJ.MDB;PERSIST
SECURITY INFO=FALSE;JET OLEDB:DATABASE PASSWORD=PASSWRD"
IT GIVES DAO ERROR CODE 0XBD7
SOURCE = DAO WORKSPACE
DESCRIPTION : NOT A VALID PASSWORD..
I CHNGED CONNECTION TO ODBC AND CHANGED OLEDB ABOVE TO ODBC BUT THEN IT
GIVES ERROR SAYING ERROR IN PROVIDER IF I RUN ONLY A CRYSTAL REPORT MADE IN
CRYSTAL REPORTS 9 WITHOUT USING VISUAL BASIC IT RUNS WELL ONLY WHEN I RUN IT
FROM VB IT GIVES ERROR... PLZ HELP
AM REALLY STUCK

I don't know if the connection string is case sensitive, but it's worth trying it as shown below:

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\folder\PROJ.MDB;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=PASSWRD;"

Note that you should include the path to the database, otherwise it may not be found.

Also, this does not include the string: "PERSIST SECURITY INFO=FALSE;", as I do not think this is required.

Using CR9 with a secured MSAccess DB I do the following :

VB Code:

Dim ConnectionInfo As CRAXDDRT.ConnectionProperties
Dim test as String
 
mRepName = App.Path & "\" & mRepName
test = app.path & "\" & gDBName
 
Set m_Rep = m_App.OpenReport(mRepName, 1)
m_Rep.RecordSelectionFormula = mstrW
 
Set ConnectionInfo = m_Rep.Database.Tables(1).ConnectionProperties
On Error Resume Next
m_Rep.Database.Tables(1).DllName = "crdb_dao.dll"
ConnectionInfo.DeleteAll
ConnectionInfo.Add "Database Name", test
ConnectionInfo.Add "Session UserID", "User Name goes Here"
ConnectionInfo.Add "Session Password", "User Password goes here"
ConnectionInfo.Add "System Database Path", gstrDBLoc & "\Security.mdw" <-- Change to you security DB

In the Decare section of the form module is the following:

VB Code:

Private m_App As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Private m_Rep As New CRAXDDRT.Report
Public mRepName As String
Public mstrW As String
Public mstrUName As String
Public msRepTitle As String

i need further help if u can plz help me out with this line
ConnectionInfo.Add "System Database Path", gstrDBLoc & "\Security.mdw" <-- Change to you security DB
