    Question

    Hello all, I am having a small problem in which I hope that
    someone can help me with. I have a Access database that is
    password protected and I need to open this database with
    the following:

    Dim oAccess As Access.Application
    Set oAccess = CreateObject("Access.Application.8")
    oAccess.Visible = False

    oAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:\db1.mdb"

    oAccess.Quit acQuitSaveAll
    Set oAccess = Nothing

    Every time that I try to open the db1.mdb the enter
    password screen comes up. How do I make is so that the
    enter password screen does not come up?

    All and any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    This is from MSDN Article Q147816
    Code:
       '----------------------------------------------------------------------
       'DECLARATIONS
       '----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
       Option Explicit
       Dim objAccess as Object
    
       '----------------------------------------------------------------------
       'This procedure sets a module-level variable, objAccess, to refer to
       'an instance of Microsoft Access. The code first tries to use GetObject
       'to refer to an instance that might already be open. If an instance is
       'not already open, the Shell() function opens a new instance and
       'specifies the user and password, based on the arguments passed to the
       'procedure.
       '
       'Calling example: OpenSecured varUser:="Admin", varPw:=""
       '----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
       Sub OpenSecured(Optional varUser As Variant, Optional varPw As Variant)
          Dim cmd As String
          On Error Resume Next
          Set objAccess = GetObject(, "Access.Application")
          If Err <> 0 Then 'no instance of Access is open
            If IsMissing(varUser) Then varUser = "Admin"
            cmd = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\MSAccess.exe"
            cmd = cmd & " /nostartup /user " & varUser
            If Not IsMissing(varPw) Then cmd = cmd & " /pwd " & varPw
            Shell pathname:=cmd, windowstyle:=6
            Do 'Wait for shelled process to finish.
              Err = 0
              Set objAccess = GetObject(, "Access.Application")
            Loop While Err <> 0
          End If
       End Sub
