asp_database_setup thread: problem passing password to Access via connection string


Message #1 by "Tim Morgan" <eastcoastpilot@h...> on Wed, 22 May 2002 02:26:29
I wrote a working connection to an Access database but I cannot figure out 
how to ad a password (and still successfully connect!).  The working 
connection string is:
objConn.Open strConnect    

According to the book, I should be able to append a user name and password 
such as:
objConn.open strConnect, "userid", "password"

I went to Access/Tools/Security/Set Database Password to add a password.  
Then I appended my user name and password to the connection string but get 
the following error:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E4D)
Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing 

Will someone knowledgeable on this issue please help?!
