Hi guys,

I added to a form an oldbconnection to connect to an Access file (access
2000), using the wizard I select the MDB file but when i test it i got an
error "Invalid authorization specification".
The user name is the default Admin, and no password.
What am I missing??
the data source is "Microsoft Access Database File (OLE DB)"

TIA

Fanor,

It can be an authorization inside the acces table. Typical a problem Paul
Clement is mostly answering.

I don't know if he is in the weekend active, I thought the answer was
already in the first message of this message thread.

I hope this helps,

Cor

This doesn't look like a Jet/Access error. It looks more like an error from the SQL Server provider.

When using the wizard did you select the correct Data Source on the Add Connection dialog. It
defaults to Microsoft SQL Server Database File. You need to click on the Change button to select
Microsoft Access Database file.
