Relink Database With Common File Dialog In Access 2007 W/Password Protection
Jan 9, 2008
All -
Just as the title describes, I can't seem to find a solution to be able to link the front-end to the back-end tables through the common file dialog when the backend is an accdb file that is password encrypted.
See the example attached. Here it should work just fine per the Article at :
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181076
I've found it works fine without a password encrypted back-end but not with a password encrypted back-end.
Anyone have any ideas? It would be nice to use this feature in Access as well as automating the relinking.
Thanks!

I 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"

I have my form where each records image displays as you scroll through the records. I want to add a control similar to the file dialog control, where users can browse to an image file on their machine, and then preview it and Update it.
Can anyone walk me thru how to do this?

I have a small tracking Access DB at work that someone put a password on. No one seems to know the password. I'm wondering if there is a file that stores the password so that I can remove it so I can access the DB.
Thanks for you help!

Password Protection for E-mailed Access Report
Sorry this is a bit long winded but here goes - we have a very simple Access 2002 DB of 60 – 100 client records. It’s updated weekly and a report is then sent to a distribution list. In the past it was printed and faxed. As all on the list have e-mail I set up a macro to e-mail the .mdb to an Outook Distribution List. It works wonderfully and is much easier and faster. However - a couple of weeks ago one of the users complained saying we must password protect the data. Our Exchange Server is not yet set up to use certificates and Ditital IDs so I worked out the only way I can think of to p/w protect the file. The data is exported as an RTF. Once the user is in Outlook she opens the attachment and runs a macro in Word which :-
Saves the RTF as a DOC file (uses the same name each time)
Saves the DOC file with password protection
However the user reports that often it seems to link to the previous weeks data unless she deletes the attached file and opens the TEMP internet files folder, finds the correct week and attaches that.
Can anyone think of an easier and more foolproof way of doing this – is there something in Access I have missed?
Thanks for any help or advice – Dika

Using Access 2007, can I return a value for CurrentProject.FileFormat WITHOUT opening the database?
I'm looking for a way to determine the file version of a given Access database without actually "opening" the database in Access (I don't want it to ever be visible at all or in any way).
So to open a database in Access 2007 "without opening it," I'm using:
Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("C:Path-ToFile.accdb")
From here, there are at least two different "version" indicators that can be used, as in this example:
Code:
Debug.Print db.Properties("Version").Value
Debug.Print db.Properties("AccessVersion").Value
Now, if you run this code on an Access 2002/2003 .MDB file, you will get:
Code:
4.0
09.50
If you run this code on an Access 2007 .ACCDB file, you get:
Code:
12.0
09.50
Note two important factors:The db.Properties("Version") seems to be returning the JET version from what I can see in research. This is NOT what I'm after.
The db.Properties("AccessVersion") returns THE SAME VALUE for an '07 ACCDB as it does for an '02-'03 MDB, since Microsoft never updated it, apparently.
Now.... the one way that I have found that ACCURATELY describes the version of a given access database file is to use:
Code:
Debug.Print CurrentProject.FileFormat
...as this will always return, for example, 2.0 for an Access 2.0 .MDB file; 10 for an Access 2002/03 .MDB file; and 12 for and Access 2007 .ACCDB file (and there are others; these are AcFileFormat bitmask constants as described in Access support).
BUT, this CurrentProject object doesn't seem to be available (so far as I can see) when using the "open without opening" method described above.
SO, is there any way to return the FileFormat value without opening the database visibly? (Merely basing it in the extension isn't right either.... that would be easy but not accurate as several formats use MDB.

HI ALL,
I have been working on some database protection techniques and have found floors in all of them.
Basically I have to protect a database not using the application password... which has a different password for each form. This means using form passwords ect... but all of them can be hacked by using the shift key on start-up does anyone know how to get around this as im stuck and could really do with another’s perspective.
Thanks in advance.

I need to know if there is any way to password protect a single query. I currently have a database and there are several users that have access to run queries but I need to have some security as others are making modifications to queries that they shouldn't be.

Hi,
I need some help creating a way for two different type of users to be redirected to different forms after entering a password.
I tried using the groups security in access but it's not good.
What I need the program to do is:
ask the user to enter a password. then if the password is correct and they are managers they will see the managers opening form ("form1") and if they are employees they will se a different opening form("form2") with less options and different reports.
thanks.

Hello. In my VB 6 application i would like to keep the data in the new accdb format. my program works just fine with the new format but i would like to give the end user the option of compacting the database and also to encrypt the database with a password they choose, then storing the password in the registry encrypted. Ideally, on initial install of the application when choosing the location of the accdb file, i'd like to throw up a box for them to enter a password to encrypt the accdb with. can this be done or is this only possible using Access 2007? i just don't like the idea of having to send out a universal password with all setup files because if the password was discovered, then anyone could open up an accdb file from another user.
basically, is it programmatically possible from within VB to set the password to an ACCDB file? i know this could be done in the old mdb format but i don't use that any longer!
thanks!

I have an old access 97 database that I can open with a user password, but cannot open as an administrator. I need to look at some development issues. My problem is that the vendor who wrote the database no longer exists to help me. Does anyone know how to strip off password so that I can examine this old database?

I am trying to set password protection on a combobox where there are only a few people who I want to be able to select their name to provide authorisation. I found the below code on a website and modified it slightly for my table (tbl_Approval) that contains two fields; Approver and Password. I can see how the code is supposed to work however I keep getting a syntax error (missing operator) in query expression on line: Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sql).
Code:
Private Sub Approved_By_Enter()
Dim pwd As String
Dim rs As Object, rstable As Object, count As Integer, counter As_ Integer
Dim sql As String, recount As Integer
sql = "SELECT * " & "FROM [tbl_Approval] " & "WHERE [Approver]= " & Me.Approved_By
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sql)
[Code]...

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
Ryan

I have the following code which successfully opens the dialog box with filters however when I add a function with an Excel import, the filters do not work at all (no files are shown even though they exist in the directory that's opened within the dialog box). If I manually type in the filter (i.e. *.x) it still shows the files.The function at the bottom was provided by cheekybuddha from another form, I'd be lost on getting the Excel file imported into Access.Here's the VBA code (the Function is also included at bottom):
Code:

Dim strpathtofile As String
Dim strTable As String, strBrowseMsg As String

When trying to set a password I receive the following message.
You must have the database open for exclusive use to set or remove the database password.
To open the database exclusively, close the database, and then reopen it by clicking the File tab and using the Open command, In the Open dialog box, click the arrow next to the Open button and then select Open Exclusive.
When I follow the instructions, I don't get a dialog box. How do I set a password?

I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Here's my code and a screenshot is attached.
Private Sub Command35_Click()
Dim dd As Integer
Dim fileDump As FileDialog
Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
dd = fileDump.Show
[Code] ....

I have a question that I have a Microsoft Access database (.accdb) front-end/backend split and I want to give the database to my company client. As we have the different path for the backend/frontend linked. I want some code that will popup if the database location is not found and popup with the dialog so the user then select the backend and it would be ready and there is no need to popup each time the database open, it would run once it did not find the last linked path.
Also I have tried the code of Dev Ashish URL.... but unfortunately it would ask everytime to refresh the table links and I only want to run the process of linking tables when the database start and the linked path not found.
