Hello,

I'm trying to open a password-proteced Access table using an OleDbConnection
in ADO.Net.
This connection string:
    Provider='Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0';Data source =
C:\temp\dbpwd.mdb;Password=pwd;
produces this exception:
    System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Cannot start your application. The
workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.

What else do I need to do?

TIA.
