I want to change my access database to use another mdw file because we have a security problem in the file we are using today. Of course I can change the security in the file we are using today but if our customer saves an old mdw file they will still be able to use that one and the security problem.
Our app are dev. In VB6 and I want to change our access database in the next version of our app. And I want to change it with VB.
Q: Is it possible to change an access database to use another mdw file or build a new mdw file with a new PID or change the existing PID.

I do not want our customer to send me there databases for converting (there are to many) I want it to be done automatically by my app.

Do a Goggle search on PrivDBEngine - I think that's the DAO call that will help you out.
