I am trying to open a MS ACCESS ".MDB" database file with ADO and JET 4.0
OLE DB Provider. I successfully open MDB files which do not have a password,
but when I try to open a MDB file with a password, I get the following
error:
"Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing
or opened exclusively by another user."

I copied the MDB file from another system, and I can open it in Access.
What am I missing? Or what do I need to do?

Thanks,
Richard
