Question : How to create an insert query to add records to a database which has a password.

Using VB6, I am trying to create an insert query to add records from Table1 in one database to Table2 in another database which has a password.

Without the Password, the SQL statement is as follows..
INSERT INTO Table2 IN 'C:\ABC.mdb'
SELECT Table1.*
FROM Table1;

With a Password (ABCD) and using MS Office Access 2003 Query Design tool.
The design tool asks for the password and then produces the following SQL string..

INSERT INTO [;PWD=ABCD].Table2 IN 'C:\ABC.mdb'[;PWD=ABCD]
SELECT Table1.*
FROM Table1;
If you 'run' this query however, it reports "Incorrect Password"

Obviously MS Office has a bug! Do any of us mortals have a solution? (It is not possible to resort to 'Linked Tables'.. there are hundreds of sites affected)

P.S. A similar question was asked in 2004 - without an answer.. see..

No need to Delete the Q - still good info for someone else coming across this issue.  Just Accept your last post with zero points to close the Q.

I would call MS Tech Support on this.
