dabney7 -> Using a password for updates for an Access DB? (3/10/2001 15:23:00)
I have my ASP working to update the access database but I now want to add a password to the database so I can protect the data from just anyone updating the records. I just don't know the correct syntax I need to build into my SQL statement in order to pass the password to Access. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You have to protect the page that the update is on, Access passwords are for the access file only.
To open an Access file in a web environment, you can only use the anonymous IUSR account.
So, to open a database, you include the password / user in the connection string.
Hence everyone can then open it!
You need to be able to script a password to enter the page to do the update.
