    • For Standard Security:

    oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _

        "Dbq=c:\somepath\mydb.mdb;"

    If you are using a Workgroup (System database):

    oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _

        "Dbq=c:\somepath\mydb.mdb;" & _

        "SystemDB=c:\somepath\mydb.mdw;", _

        "myUsername", "myPassword"

    If want to open up the MDB exclusively

    oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _

        "Dbq=c:\somepath\mydb.mdb;" & _

        "Exclusive=1;"

    If MDB is located on a Network Share

    oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _

        "Dbq=\\myServer\myShare\myPath\myDb.mdb;"

    If MDB is located on a remote machine

    - Call an XML Web Service that contains data access web methods for MDB
    - Or upgrade to SQL Server and use an IP connection string

    If you don't know the path to the MDB (using ASP)

    <%  ' ASP server-side code

    oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _

        "Dbq=" & Server.MapPath(".") & "\db\myDb.mdb;"

    %>

    Make sure the Web identity has read/write permissions to the directory
    the MDB is located in. e.g. "db" would need the read/write permissions.

    If you don't know the path to the MDB (using VB)

    oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _

        "Dbq=" & App.Path & "\myDb.mdb;" 
    This assumes the MDB is in the same directory where the application is running.

    oConn.Open "Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};" & _

        "System=myAS400;" & _

        "Uid=myUsername;" & _

        "Pwd=myPassword"

    For more information, see: A Fast Path to AS/400 Client/Server 


    oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)};" & _

        "DriverID=277;" & _

        "Dbq=c:\somepath"

    Then specify the filename in the SQL statement:

    oRs.Open "Select * From user.dbf", oConn, , ,adCmdText

    Note: MDAC 2.1 (or greater) requires the Borland Database Engine (BDE) to update dBase DBF files. (Q238431).

    oConn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};" & _

        "Dbq=c:\somepath\mySpreadsheet.xls;" & _

        "DefaultDir=c:\somepath"
