Unable to connect to Access database - Not a valid account name or password.

Hi All,

Sorry for cross posting, but I am not sure where the problem is.

Problem:
I am not able to connect to any of my Access databases using "Microsoft Jet
4.0 OLE DB Provider".
I had no problems before but since last Saturday, I've been getting a "Not a
valid account name or password" error.

I have no problems connecting using the "MS OLE DB Provider for ODBC
Drivers" or any other methods.

Anyone's got any ideas :-(

Most likely not IIS, and from the description it's tough to tell where
might be appropriate.

Well, the obvious. What changed last Saturday, what account are you
using and what happened when you tried another account/password or
reset the password on what you were using?

Followups reset to the .NET groups only, which I don't monitor, sorry.
