Hello.

I'm following http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/52267 to open a local .mdb file and export the contents. It works with normal databases, but I cannot open a password protected database.

According to http://www.oreilly.de/catalog/progacdao/chapter/ there is no password option in the OpenDatabase method, so I've tried using daoEngine.DefaultPassword = xxxx without success.

Does somebody know if this is possible and how?

I've found a visual basic example using Dao and the password is passed as an attribute string. Hence the following will work under python:

   daoEngine.OpenDatabase(infile, False, False, "MS Access;pwd=xxxxx")

You want to try visiting:

http://www.connectionstrings.com/

where, for example, you will find:

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\myFolder\myAccess2007file.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword;

as a connection string for Access.
