Did you test the connection first?

When I configure an ADO connection, I always click on the Test Connection
button that is available within the configuration dialog. To reach that
point, I have double-clicked on the connection component on the form, then I
specified the Jet 4.0 provider, then on the connection tab-page I select the
MDB and enter in the username. I also check the box that says Blank
password because my MDB is not password protected.

Once those settings are provided, I click on the Test Connection button. If
it works, you should see a message that says "Test Connection Succeeded" in
just a few seconds.

In the Delphi Object Inspector, many developers also switch the Login Prompt
property to False for the connection component, but you may have some reason
for not doing that. If you leave it set to True, then users will see a
separate login prompt when they try to connect, but most applications seem
to have their own separate login screen.

I'm using Delphi 5 with ADOExpress, so the dialogs you see might not be the
same, but the concepts should still work.
