Sorry, but we've failed to find the right ADO connection string params to open such databases. You can try to connect to your database using the "Generic OLE DB Connection" type.

Reply Is it? Inappropriate Spam Duplicate | 0 Shawn Anderson 3 years ago The file size is small (612KB) and I'm pretty sure there is no corruption.The only thing different with this and other accdb files I'm opening is that it is password protected. If I choose to type in the user/pw every time or enter it under the advanced properties, the error I get is "Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user"I did find this link but wasn't sure how to apply it in FlySpeed: Reply Is it? Inappropriate Spam Duplicate | 0 Sergey Smagin (Product manager) 3 years ago Do you know that Access has two types of passwords: Database password and User name/password? The database password can be specified on the main tab of the Connection Properties dialog, while the user name and password should be specified on the Advanced tab (click the "More options" button to see tabs).

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up MS Access/accdb “Cannot open database” error (C#) up vote 1 down vote favorite I'm using an MS Access database to store data for a desktop application. This week I was asked to give access to the application to some additional users, but whenever they launch the application they are cannot open database getting the error message: Cannot open database ''. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt. I have gone through 5 pages of Google search results trying to find a solution and come up with nothing. Every answer I can find to this problem is either the 2GB limit (which my db is nowhere near) or corruption (which is not the case because only two new users are receiving this error and everyone else is fine). This is my connection string: "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=[Path];Jet OLEDB:Database Password=[Password];" I'm pretty sure this is due to the users' machines missing something, but I cannot figure out what or where they can get it from. Please advise. c# ms-access jet share|improve this question edited Dec 23 '13 at 22:30 paqogomez 11.4k42444 asked Dec 23 '13 at 22:22 Jdinklage Morgoone 3171315 Where is your connection string stored?
