How to Open a Secure Database from Code

[Guest]

Want to open an instance of Access from code and run a report. Database is secured and I can't figure out how to pass User and Password info

dim objAccess as Objec
set objAccess = CreateObject("Access.Application"

fails because Object is secure want to login as a certain user / password

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I followed the instructions and was able to successfully login and access the data.

What I am missing is how to set a variable / reference the application object. For example, I'd like to Open / Run a report after opening the database. How do I get from the database object to the application object or execute a DoCmd type command.

I'm so close I can smell success

Hi,

Here's the article that should help:
HOWTO: Automate a Secured Access Database Using Visual Basic
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=192919

In the article you could code similar to the following:
accObj.DoCmd.OpenReport "name of Report", acViewPreview
