    It's asking for a password.

    I'm also alive after opening it. There is not code in the database at all, just a few tables.

    Re: Would you open a .MDB that someone sent to you?

    ok - since I know nothing about ACCESS...

    Would one of you kind folks please try to open the file from VB - or at least send me the ADO connection string that would do so...

    This person is getting a "can't find installable ISAM" error - which I feel is not related to the .MDB but related to the MDAC/ADO install myself...

    That would be completely correct sir.
