Accessing db with Workgroup file

[Mathew Michuta]

Help!

I need to pull data from an access database that uses a
workgroup security file (mycomp.mdw).

The database is also a previous version of microsoft
Access... I cannot convert it because it is in use by a
VB6.0 application for which I do not have the source code.

I would like to programmatically access the data in that
database for other functions without disturbing the
existing security.

I have all of the valid passwords and such, I just need
some assistance getting into it.

Please email me at (e-mail address removed)

Hi Mathew,

You could specify name of workgroup file in your connection string. See next
