I am trying to connect a ms-acess database by adodc data control but i am getting error message
the error is <---- you Can 't start your application.
The workgroup information file
is missing or opened exclusively by another user.
(Error 3028)

so please tell me any one
is there any way that can establish  a connection to ms-acess password protected database but i know it s possible by odbc but
i dont want to work with odbc rather i want to establish a connection by connection string feature of adoc control.
as well as i getting same type of error when i am trying to design a connection object by dataenvironment designer please tell me a how can i
design a connection object that actually will point to a ms-acess password protected database rather specifying my dsn name over there
if possible then plase tell me easy and good solution but dont suggest me to use dsn.

The ADODC control does have a Username & Password field, so if you have one, you should be able to enter it. in the connection string I belive if you add:
"username=;password=" you can put it there also.

If you don't have a username/password to gain access. The only way I'm aware of would be 1) get username/password, 2) have someone that has access to export (if they have rights) to an un-password protected database.

The catch is this: a database password is different from a "group" password. DB password has no security groups. "Groups" security may involve different connection techniques since the database is opened with the group file.
