VB 6 And Password With Access 2007

Feb 5, 2008

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!

Open Password Protected Access 2007 Db In ASP

Feb 11, 2008

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

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!

Access 2007 Crashes On Excel 2007 Import

Mar 21, 2008

On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:

1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK

Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.

Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.

Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."

Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.

I have turned off DEP.

How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?

Thanks

Access 2007 Runtime Not Visible In Access 2007

Nov 26, 2007

I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features.
Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing!
Help!
I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?

Table Problems Moving From Access 2003 -> Access 2007

Jun 19, 2007

Attached is a screenshot of the relationships in a database I built a couple of years ago. It's worked absolutely fine in Access 2003 and currently has over 18,000 customers with associated information in it.

However, when I open the database in Access 2007 the performance is awful. All the forms are very slow to respond when tabbing between form elements. I've experimented by reducing the number of form elements calling on related data on a given page and whilst this improves performance it reduces usability - something I don't want to compromise on especially since Access 2007 should be able to cope with this.

My next question is therefore whether I've got the most efficient underlying table design and I can't see any other way of doing it than my current method so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice anyone has.

Access 2003 To Access 2007 Split Database

Mar 8, 2007

Hi All,

Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).

Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.

I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.

Password In Access Aplication

Nov 23, 2007

Hello all!

I need to add a password protection to my access application, and i don't know how to do it.

The scenario is the following:

I've got a main page, where the user chooses which form or report to view. I would like to add the username and password to this startup page, and then start the session. After that I should check in all the other pages that the session has been started.

How can I do it? Does the session exists in access? or should I do a table to control whether the session has been started or not?
and then check in that table in all the other forms and reports?

thanks!

MS Access Password Protecting

Jan 30, 2008

HI,

I have a MS access 2003 database (in MDB format) which I use as a basic accounts system for our company (15 user). I have certain tables password protected depending on user using the old workgroup information file. This presents a problem as anyone can copy the database without linking the Information file and effectively get full admin access. I was looking to upgrade to Access 2007 but I gather that there is a different security engine and also a new file format (accdb file). I know that you can keep the same user security settings when upgrading to 2007 (while keerping the mdp file extension) but would be interested to know if I can improve security using 2007 while also being able to retain user-level access to certain tables like in access 2003? The major weakness in my system at the moment is anybody can copy the MDB file to another PC and access everyting...it seems too easy a system to crack. Do I need to completely reprogram my database using MySql on MSSql? Any advice would be appreciated?

Thanks in advance,

Shane

Password Issues With Non Protected Database Asking For Password

Nov 8, 2005

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!

Access 2007 To Access 2000 Problem

Dec 17, 2007

I have created a database in Access 2007 that now works well, and one that I'm quite proud off. However, I can easily convert it to an Access 2000 format as can anyone else here, but when I load it up there is a major problem.

I have used the tab control in my main form and that has three tabs on it. However, it's positioned correctly in Access 2007 it's not positioned correctly in Access 2000 as I have to move the tab control down a bit, but that would seem fine. So I lowered the tab control form and changed my form layout slightly, but even then the tab control over all over the Access 2000 form whenever I interact with the tabs - most bizzare.

Any help? Thanks.

Data Access Page - Password

Jun 22, 2005

I'm currently using a data access page web form in order for users to enter data into my database. The database is protected with a generic password. Whenever the form is opened in IE, it asks for that password.

The functionality that I want is for the users accessing the database through the data access web form to not need a password, but I do want the password on the database itself. This way users can't just see all the information stored within the database, but they can submit certain information through forms. Is this possible? I can't really find much about data access pages even requiring passwords, but it makes sense. I just don't know how to achieve the desired functionality.

Password Across Multiple Access Systems

Aug 22, 2005

Good Afternoon,

I have been given an access database system which runs using about 7 access databases, linked tables etc, quite complex. When a new user installs the system from a DVD the user needs to provide a password. This password is filtered to all 7 access databases so they all use the same username and password.

The problem I am having is when the user runs this application again they are prompted for their password. Everytime they click on an option which is another access database they are again asked for their password. I am trying to figure out a way once the user has logged in once on start up no matter which option they select and no matter how many time they select it while the main appliction is running they are not asked for their password. Is this possible or totally outside the scope of Access databases.
