Re: [PHP-DB] MS Access Connection with database password

Hi again,
It's an Access 2000 database and I've changed the password to a single a, 
still no show :(

The database is downloaded on a regular basis and I need to extract some 
data from it, so I have no control over version or password.

Thanks a lot
/Kjell

Did you read the notes regarding password length, password content and
Access version issues?

Do any of these apply to you?

I suspect one of them does.
