Passing password to Open method in sub (A2K)

Topic

New Reply

Microsoft provided the following code to list who is in a database. I am trying to learn how I can provide a password to the Open method in the code. The password was created with the Tools, Security menu.

I currently use LDBView, but wanted to explore this.

Thanks,

Randy

Sub ShowUserRosterMultipleUsers()
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim cn2 As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim i, j As Long

cn.Provider = “Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0”
cn.Open “Data Source=c:Northwind.mdb”

cn2.Open “Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;” _
& “Data Source=c:Northwind.mdb”

‘ The user roster is exposed as a provider-specific schema rowset
‘ in the Jet 4 OLE DB provider. You have to use a GUID to
‘ reference the schema, as provider-specific schemas are not
‘ listed in ADO’s type library for schema rowsets

Set rs = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaProviderSpecific, _
, “{947bb102-5d43-11d1-bdbf-00c04fb92675}”)

‘Output the list of all users in the current database.

Debug.Print rs.Fields(0).Name, “”, rs.Fields(1).Name, _
“”, rs.Fields(2).Name, rs.Fields(3).Name

While Not rs.EOF
Debug.Print rs.Fields(0), rs.Fields(1), _
rs.Fields(2), rs.Fields(3)
rs.MoveNext
Wend

End Sub

According the helpfile in the section NewPassword Method :

---

If object refers to a User object that is not yet appended to a Users collection, an error occurs. To set a new password, you must either log on as the user whose account you’re changing, or you must be a member of the Admins group. The Password property of a User object is write-only

Thanks Francois, but I’m actually not trying to determine the password. I already know it – I’m trying to use the Sub provided on a database that has a password that I created. I want to know if the Open method can be provided a known password so it will not result in a run time error.

Did this help :
Dim cn As New Connection
cn.Connectionstring = “Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=databaseName;User ID=userName;Password=userPassword;”
cn.open
