MSAccess database and VB

[Candu]

I have a small problem that I am hoping someone can help me with and I would be appreciate help.

I making a VB project that has a .dll associated with it that is made in VB as well. The .dll needs to access an access97 .mdb file that has database password protection on it. When I try to connect to the .mdb file by sending a password to it I keep getting the error code of 3170 ("Couldn't find installable ISAM"). Now when I take the password off of the .mdb file the .dll can open it and read the database. Does any one have know what is going on and what is it?

Thanks.

sounds like you're using ADO:

Clunietp,

No I am trying to use the old DAO but eventually will want to use ADO, and the link that you sent is broken.
