Hello,

I have an Access DB that I have set up with security, (i.e. I followed the
steps for 'ACC2000: Overview of How to Secure a Microsoft Access Database',
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q254/3/72.asp)

I can open this database in Access by providing the correct name/password
combo. My problem is trying to connect with a TADOConnection component. I've
tried using the MS Jet 4.0 provider and by creating an ODBC 'System DSN' and
using the ODBC Driver.

With Jet when I press 'Test Connection' I get, "Test connection failed
because of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application.
The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another
user."

With ODBC I get, "Test connection failed because of an error in initializing
provider. [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] You do not have the
necessary permissions to use the '(unknown)' object. Have your system
adminmistrator or the persion who created this object establish the
appropriate permissions for you."

My guess is I need to somehow point to my MS Access system database (the
*.mdw file), but I don't know how to do that.

Best regards,
m.t
