This is the second message, related to the same subject, that I have rewritten to me more clear.
Using VB6 and a data control:
I need to read a database which may be or not password protected and may be written in Access 2 or Access 97.
This code works fine:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Data1.Connect = ";UID=Admin;PWD=SERARES"
Dim dbs As Database
Set dbs = OpenDatabase("C:\venezia1\venezia1.mdb", False, False, "MS Access;PWD=SERARES")
Data1.DatabaseName = "c:\venezia1\venezia1.mdb"
Data1.RecordSource = "schede"
Data1.Refresh
End Sub

but if, and this is the case, the database to be accessed is on a CD and is of course
READ ONLY I get an error message saying that the database is already exclusively opened by another user or I have not the authorisation to open the file.

How can I resolve this problem?
Please give me some tips.
