Open secured password MS access database
Hi,
Question1:
If my MS access data is not secured by a password, I can use this code to open it: Data1.DatabaseName = App.path & "\MyParts.mdb"
Now I set the MyParts.mdb to prompt a password to open it. Of course, that code above cannot open it any more.
Question 2:
I want to highlight whole row (or fileds) of the table where the arrow pointed to the records found.
Question3:
The records found is saved to a text file name Records.txt. I want the program to save or convert the file to .pdf extension so that no one can edit it.
I am a beginner in VB, so any help will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mike

Not exactly. That's part of the connection string. Look at these connection strings - for Access and Access 2007.

Not unless your program gets the correct password. Use the first connection string and change the right end to
VB Code:
Pwd=" & txtPassword.Text & ";"

If you're running a VB program the table isn't showing on the screen the way it does when you run Access. You can retrieve a row (or a lot of rows). If you want to display it (them) you'll need a grid or a bunch of text boxes or labels on your form to put the retrieved data into.

You can buy controls that will write .pdf files. Crystal Controls can write them. VB can't natively write them.
