ADO Connection Access Database VB

I have been accessing a database on a local drive thru an ADO connection.

The following is the code that I have been using.

cnCejco.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=Y:\Cejco.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"

The problem is now I have added a password to the Database.

I keep getting the message "Password not Valid" When using the above code.

I looked up how to add a password to the above and changed to the following.

myUserName = "Admin"
myPassword = "cEj2235"
myDbPassword = "cEj2235"

Set cnCejco = New ADODB.Connection
If cnCejco.State = adStateOpen Then Exit Function
Set cnCejcoFTP = New ADODB.Connection
If cnCejcoFTP.State = adStateOpen Then Exit Function
cnCejco.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=Y:\Cejco.mdb;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword", _
"myUsername", "myPassword"
I was not sure how to do this so I went ahead and create a Dim for
myUserName, myPassword and mydbPassword as strings and set them to a
constant.Now I get the message "Cannot start your application. The
Workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another
user."I checked to make sure the database was not being used by anything.
It seemed not to be.Thanks in advance.Bob Leffew

If you're just using a database password then remove the user name and password parameters.

cnCejco.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=Y:\Cejco.mdb;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword"
