DB/Reporting :: Open Password Protected Access DB With Process.Start
Jan 7, 2009
I need to open a password protected Access database from VB and I'm trying to use the Process.Start method and have had no luck. I have tried this seversal different ways and can't seem to get it to work. Here is an example of my closes attempt:
I have an app with a password protected MS access database connected to it. lets say the password is "123". when I run my app i get an error saying that the password is incorrect even thought its not.i have been readig around but am strugling to find a solution.
I am trying to open a password protected access data base. I want to provide the password with in process.start to avoid the first password and security dialog box. so far i have done this
dim path as string="c:\temp\db1.mdb" dim password as string="temp" process.start(Path, password)
Open a Access database (protected with a password) in my application in Visual Basic 2008. I use Oledb connection to link my Application to the database. When my Access database is not protected with password my connection goes well, but I don't know how to set my password of my database in my application. I have "googled", but I can't find something that works for me. [code]----
I have several files that are linked to other files but due to certain information in each file they are password proected. I wrote the program to open each file and than close in a particular order so that all files are updated and than closed. Here is the problem: I can not get the program to auto enter the password.
The code is simple so far
Workbooks.Open Filename:= "S:EveryoneBudgetBus Dev Ex.xlsx" (MISSING CODE FOR PASSWORD) Windows("DirecPath Budget - Bus Dev Non-Ex.xlsx").Activate ActiveWorkbook.Save ActiveWindow.Close
The problem is that I have to enter the password in for all files. Which of course the average user will not have. Can somebody please help with the code for the password. If you post a code use the password "team" so that I know exactly how to do the code.
I am building archiving system, I store the files on shared folder on windows server 2003, the shared folder protected by one user name and password ,on LAN I need vb.net windows forms to open file inside shared folder, how I could open the shared folder and in same time providing windows server 2003 with user name and password for the shared folder
First of all, no i am not trying to hack a database , i am trying to link to a database, created in MS Access, and have the user log into it, but i still get an error sayingQuotean unhandled expression of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in system.data.dll here is the code i'm using to input the password and username from a text box
How do I get it so my program reads the database when its password protected? This is the code I have at the moment?. Code: myConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=|DataDirectory|db1.mrk;"
I'm using an MS Access database which has password (database password, not a workgroup or smth). I'm using 13 characters - with no special signs- only letters. When I try to open the DB from access it works fine, but when I try to run my Windows Form application from Visual Studio Connection String, I get a message that "Not a valid password".
How do I open my Crystal Report in VB code (RPT files) on password-protected Access 2007 database? Ever since I protected my database with password, my Crystal Report generates an error.
i am trying to connect to a password-protected MS Access 2007 database. I don't have any problems connecting to the database when the database is stored on the C drive, the following command works for me:
I'm trying to open any file using Process.Start, but every time I try to open a file that isn't an executable the program crashes... This is the code I'm currently using:
vb.net Private Sub ListView1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListView1.MouseDoubleClick For Each lvi As ListViewItem In ListView1.SelectedItems Process.Start(path & "" & lvi.Text) Next End Sub
Path is a string that contains the selected folder path, and lvi is the text of the list view item (each item contains the icon and name of each file). It is working fine for .exe files, I was just wondering if it's JUST for .exe files...
The program opens with the correct registry value, but the program itself does not run quite right. This program feeds into Intergraph and brings up the selected drawing, but there is a feature of intergraph that doesn't work. If I manually start ( double click ) pdsicon.exe the program works just fine. It only when I call the process that it doesn't work quite right.
I'm presently creating an application which uses Access2007 as the database. No problem there. But Since most use Excel for data-entry, i've created two tables in access linked to excel source file. Any change in excel will reflect in Access database and subsequently in my Application . Until now my application only reads the database and displays records in DataGridView. These records, i then export to excel along with other formatting for direct printing as a report as I have no idea how to make report. Now i want to add data-entry capability to my app using password-protection user-access. So i can directly add new record to source file. Also need to know if There's any way of eliminating Access from the picture entirely....
I am trying to open an Access file but so far I am not succeeding. [Code] I receive following error: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user. I am sure the file is not open and I tried already to add in the connection string: ;User ID=User and / or Jet OLEDB:System database=C:SYSTEM.MDW; at the and but without result.
is it possible to launch a pdf that is password protected. I want to be able to somehow enter the password for the user, so they dont have too, so when they launch a password protected PDF, it opens as normal for the user without any intervention?
I have a project that needs to test if a PDF file are password protected. I don't want to open it, just test if it is protected, so I can tag it in my project.
I can't open an Access database on a mapped drive. However it works if I use the UNC path. how I can get this to work? See the code below for an example of what works and what doesn't...
Code: mConnString = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\tiger-2000dvb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb" ' This works mConnString = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=T:vb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb" ' this does not work Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(mConnString)
[code].....
The error message I receive is...'T:vb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.I've done the obvious and verified that t:vb_mt7MtrackBE.mdb is a valid path.
I'm currently working on a CRM project in vb.net. I want the program to start with a prompt that asks for a password and if the user enters the correct password then the main form loads.Im having some problems wrapping my mind around this...
I am programming using VB-2005 on a Vista Based machine. I am trying programmatically to open a PDF file that is Password Protected. I have worked out the steps required to open a non-protected PDF. Adobe tells me that it is not possible to pass a password to the PDF using the objects that come with the PDF Control. My question is can this be done in some other way, e.g. with WinExist etc.? Is WinExist and other such commands even available in Visual Basic?
i have a button and a text box so far, ooh ahh, when i push the button the text boxs text is set to the contents of a word document via the my.computer.filesystem.readalltext(file directory as string) method, because i dont want other people screwing with the document i have password protected the word document with the password eragon, so for those who are slow thinkers, not that you are that means i know the password to the doc. the problem is that because the doc. is password protected my program just shows four odd symbols, what code do i need to add to make my program auto unlock the file.
I need to check all the printers of my faculty by sending a test page to everyone of them. And I want to do that with a little program in VB... All the printers are in the same server. I've found this piece of code : It should get the names and put them in a list box (the following code) and them send the print request
