I have to do this and I believe there is VBA code to re-link tables when needed that can be found on the web. My client needs access to everything because he will move on to another developer after this, so what I thought I would do is send him a private file that has the password for the backend and then just write the ADO code needed in the app's front end to connect with the password.
View RepliesI have a code to relink a 2 backend files at start up. The problem is one of the files is password encrypted.
Code to input the password?
Dim dbsTemp As Database
Dim strMenu As String
Dim strInput As String
' Open a Microsoft Jet database to which you will link
' a table.
Set dbsTemp = CurrentDb
[Code] .....
This part is calling the password protected database
Code:
ConnectOutput dbsTemp, _
"Usernames", _
";DATABASE=C:UsersquicoDesktopWeight_estimate_software_Usernames.accdb", _
"Usernames"
Hi,
Firstly thank you for your help, this should be a simple one I hope, but is cracking my head on the wall. Have searched and searched and can't find an answer.
I have an Access Db that is not password protected, but is asking for a password.
It opens on any other machine fine?
I think my version of Access is playing funny buggers with me, any suggestions?
I was trying to implement some security on this Db, which is why it happened I'm sure. I ran the security wizard, set-up two users and admin with passwords, I have the output file to "recreate" something too.
Issue is, I then copied this Db to another computer for use on there, it worked without a Password, so didn't need to worry about it, now I can't open any Db on my machine??
Your help on this obvious pointer would be great!

Hello All,
I have found the following code to password protect my form, it works but I have one problem, the input txt box does not have the input mask set so the password can be seen on screen, here is the code I have:
Private Sub Maintenance_Button_Click()
Dim strPasswd
strPasswd = InputBox("Enter Password", "Restricted Form")
'Check to see if there is any entry made to input box, or if
'cancel button is pressed. If no entry made then exit sub.
If strPasswd = "" Or strPasswd = Empty Then
MsgBox "No Input Provided", vbInformation, "Required Data"
Exit Sub
End If
'If correct password is entered open Employees form
'If incorrect password entered give message and exit sub
If strPasswd = "ssd" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "Maintenance", acNormal
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Menu", acSaveNo
Else
MsgBox "Sorry, you do not have access to this form", _
vbOKOnly, "Important Information"
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Can anyone advise on what vba cmd to use in the password string to enable the password input mask?
Regards

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a access database in to a sql server. My client hasn't got the exclusive access or doesn't have a username password for the access database. I'm trying to import the data in the access to sql server and when I try to open it it says
"
This error is usually associated with opening or converting a security enhanced Access 97 or earlier database. If you are not the owner of the database, you most likely will not have the necessary access rights to open or convert it.
"
Is there a way around this.
Cheers,

Hi guys!
I have a front-end (FE) linked to a back-end (BE) db.
I have added a password to the BE, but the knock on effect is that the FE won't work now. Just says 'Invalid Password'.
I'm using MS Access 2002.
Any help would be appreciatted.
(The password is to prevent unwanted users from deleting data on the BE on the server)
I use a database that someone else set up and is no longer here. To get access to the database you need to enter a user id and password. I have a new user who has been getting into the database using an established user's id and password.
I went into the file and found the table with the users, their id's and passwords listed, and added the new person to the table, but I still get an invalid user message when trying to access the database with the new user's information.
I went through the Access Help and tried a couple things it said for adding users to a password protected database, but either I didn't do it right, or the way to add a user is different from what I am getting from Access Help.
Lastly, this database is different in that if I would add a report, it only shows up on my computer when I access the database, the report doesn't show up on anyone else's. That is odd to me, but it is how it works.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Hi, I have been opening password protected access 2003 databases with ASP / ADO for years now. However now we have updated to office 2007 everything gone bottoms up.
I have an access 2007 database (newly made, not converted from 2003), and a fresh asp page. I've gotten the new connection string information for Access 2007 from the internet yet the page cannot open the database.
connection string being used:
sConnString="Provider=Microsoft.ace.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & strPath & ";Jet OLEDB:Database PASSWORD= password"
When I try to open the page the error i get is - "Not a valid password" - 80040e4d. I'm 100% sure the password is correct, the driver is right (the server has office 2007 installed, and the new access driver from the M$ website). Every page i've seen on the internet says that the code I'm using is correct, yet asp still can't open it.
If i remove the password from the database it opens fine, so it's not a corrupt database, or bad path in the code.
If you can shed any light on my problem I would be eternally grateful - been working on it for hours now!
Many thanks

I have a mdb file that does not have database or user level security, but it does have a VBA password.I want to transfer (overwrite) a new form to this database from another Access database. The form I'm exporting has VBA code. When I try using docmd.TransferDatabase I get an error. The error is:
"The TransferDatabase action was canceled."The line is:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", txtCheckInFile, acForm, "SubformLineSummaryContractor", "SubformLineSummaryContractor", False, False
where txtCheckInFile is the location and mdb file name I'm trying to send the export.It might be because the form already exists. So, if I go into the database and delete form, and repeat the export I get the message:
"Microsoft protect this Visual Basic for Applications Project with a password. You must supply the password in the Visual Basic Editor before you can perform this operation."My question is it possible to transfer a form to a MDB that has a passworded VBA? I know the VBA password.If not, perhaps it is possible to remove the VBA password in the database (using VBA), make my export, and then add the password back in?
I need to map drive on server which is password protected..so i used this:

but I get an Error 424 'object required'
in this:
set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
some other method to map password protected drive
Hi All
I need to schedule the opening of a MS Access database which is password protected.
I think the best way to do this would be to use schedule a batch process to run, can anyone help with the script to create a batch proccess to only OPEN and CLOSE an MS Access database?
Thanks
I have a password protected form that works fine. However, when you type in the password it can be seen on the screen. Is there a way I can change that so that when the password is typed in it can't be read (perhaps showing asterisks)?
This is what I'm using:
In ON CLICK event
Dim PassWord As String
PassWord = InputBox("Enter Password")
If PassWord = "MYPassword" Then
' Open Form
DoCmd.OpenForm "MYFormName"
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Else
MsgBox ("You're not authorized")
End If
I'm using the DoCmd.CopyObject method to copy a table from my front end db to my back end. My back end db is password protected and it keeps prompting me for the password. Can I somehow send the password in code so that the user is not prompted?
View 8 Replies View RelatedAny VBA code that would tell me whether an xlsb file is password protected?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have three excel files (ActualHires.xls, ActualPromotions.xls and
ActualSeparation.xls). These are password protected files (with the
same password). They are linked to an access database and whenever the
files are opened, one must supply the password and click the 'Enable
automatic refresh button.' What I was wondering was if this could be
done in access with a command button. I have pasted some code below
that I found but now I'm getting an error.
This is the code:
Dim BookNames As Variant
Dim B As Long
BookNames = Array("O:ExcelFilesActualHires.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualPromotions.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualSeparations.xls")
For B = LBound(BookNames) To UBound(BookNames)
WorkBooks.Open FileName:=BookNames(B), _
UpdateLinks:=3, Password:="*******"
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
Next B
But when I click the button, I get this error:
Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range.
and this line is highlighted:
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I managed to password protect my backend (as the backend is on a server and anybody could access it) so i have it password protected so only i can gain access to the data.
Now, when i try and access the backend from the front end, the frontend prompts me that the password is invalid (indicating its trying to enter the backend using no password, thus an invalid password warning appears. And this means nobody can access the data from the frontend)
Is there a way to get round this password issue from the frontend? I.e. have the password for the backend, but when you access the frontend, it doesnt need the password for the backend (i have my own username/password system to log on to my database)
I know there are different user level securities you can use, but im not familiar with this. So if you have an idea about this, then im all ears but keep in mind I don’t really know how the security levels work in Access (nor do i have the time to learn it in depth or even find help other than here)
Many thanks for your help

I have created an access 07 database and split it to a back-end and a front-end with linked tables.
I wish to deploy it an a network of 4 computers, 3 of which are running on XP. The back-end will be on a computer running on XP. Now, from the instructions I have come across online, the Back-end has to be located on a folder where all users have Red and Write rights!!! And I am thinking, if the users on this network can actually see the back-end since it is on a shared folder where they have all the rights, then does that not compromise the security?
Is there a way of linking to the back-end on a network WITHOUT the users being able to access the back-end?
I am building a very comprehensive Membership Management Database with extremely useful facilities initiated by some 20 or 25 Queries..
The database includes 5 Tables which store data relevant to members, another which stores details of Interest Groups and a 3rd which stores which members are affiliated to which Group or Groups.
Currently the database is accessible only by a very limited number of persons and data can be entered/edited by only one person. The database, using Access 2010, is maintained on a desktop computer and synchronized to a copy on a Cloud.
My requirement is to permit some 50 Group Leaders to input/edit data on a Password protected Group Members Form such that that is the only element of the database that they can access. The Forms would have only 2 fields from which the user would select entries from drop down lists.
My query is ; is such a procedure feasible in principle and would I be correct in assuming that the user would require to have available a copy of Access.
I have (on a company network) a FrontEnd .accde and a backend .accdb - currently ~ 10 users (some over wifi - slow!)The FrontEnd is becoming a rather large file ~ 10 MB and is also becoming slower.I am looking to separate this in to 3 FrontEnd files as to simplify and to lessen the file sizes etc.
My question is - are there any issues around a 3 x FrontEnd databases all connecting to 1 x backend database holding all the tables - over a network?
I have completed the split and have deployed the backend to SharePoint. The front end is sat on my (and others) machines with linked tables to the SharePoint lists. This is all fine and works well.
Although this database is deployed, I am constantly working on a local copy of the database in design I.e. Tables being updated with fields and relationships and new tables being added. The reason for this is that work wanted something workable putting out there now and that I just continue its development in the background.
What is the best way to update the tables on SharePoint bearing in mind that users are putting new data on there? I don't want to lose what they are updating and then I need to redploy the 'new' backend to SharePoint again (no doubt in the same location) as that's where the front end is looking for it.how I can manage this version control of the backend without losing data.
