Microsoft Access Passwords, Workgroups and ADO

By Garry Robinson

Introduction
During the years of programming Access databases, it has always been that if the user could get to the command button, then the user had already passed the security provisions that had been established. Now I find more and more that I am writing code in Excel or VB or other databases and I need to be sure that I can still manipulate secure data. This article shows you how to make an ADO connection to a database that is secured by either a database password or by a workgroup file.
