After that, open the project properties.

This tutorial will teach you on how to change the database password of an Access database programmatically using visual basic 6.0.

CN.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & DatabasePath & ";Persist Security Info=False;Mode=12;Jet OLEDB:Database Password="current password here" sqlExecStr = "ALTER Database Password " & txtNewPass & " " & txtOldPass & ";" CN.Execute sqlExecStr

Where CN is your database connection variable.

If you use the database before changing the password be sure to close it by adding code like:

Go to the Run item on the Start menu, and type:

regsvr32 <path & filename of dll or ocx>

ex: regsvr32 "d:\source code\ocx\b8controls.ocx"
