In code AQL acces data from external database with password

[Guest]

I have an external database (Ms Database) protected with password. I want to
pass a SQL from current database. how can i pass the password;
For example: SELECT StudentsMaster.SurName
FROM StudentsMaster IN 'c:\Nestor\Nestor.mdb'; works if i had removed the
password protection From Nestor.mdb, but returns the error message "Not a
Valid password" if not.

Try:

SELECT StudentsMaster.SurName
FROM [;DATABASE=c:\Nestor\Nestor.mdb;PWD=MyPswd].StudentsMaster;

.. . . where MyPswd is the database password.
