Access connection prompting for a password. Error 70.

[2rowdy]

I have an email module in Access 2016 connecting to excel 2016 spreadsheet. The code calls Outlook. When I get to the following code block, I am prompted for a password:


The code sticks at FileCopy xlFile, sendFile

FileCopy xlFile, sendFile
Set xlapp = excel.Application
Set xlBk = xlapp.Workbooks.Open(sendFile)
xlBk.RefreshAll ' refreshall was not in the library
On Error Resume Next
For Each cn In xlBk.Connections
cn.Delete

The error where the code stops is Error 70, permission denied.

Thank you.

I am prompted for a password. I know of no write protection, nor do I know a password. I removed all passwords from my windows user account, I am still getting the error. I can modify the files, both access and excel files. I can save them. The password must have something to do with the connection, but I have no idea what.

Neither the Access file or the Excel file are protected in anyway. I have reviewed the Trust Center and there is no protection on either of these files.

Why am I being prompted for a password for this file, or the connection to the file?

You may have password in linked data in excel file, try it by opening excel file and refreshing links.

I found an loop error in a block of code and corrected it. The procedure no longer stops at FileCopy xlFile, SendFile, but I am still getting the error requesting the password for the admin account. I have removed all passwords from my local admin account, I have closed down my virus protection and firewall. I have checked both excel and access files for password protection (there is none in either program), I have checked the application's Trust Center.

The code runs but I am prompted for a password and after the email sent messagebox, I get a message box that says

"5: invalid procedure call or argument."

I tried making a new connection using the Data Connecton Wizard in Excel. Under Data Link Properties, I am prompted for Data Source. I am not sure what it is asking for so I put the path to my access file in that input box. When i test the connection, I get the error

"Test connection failed because of an error in initalizing provider (provider is "Microsoft Office 16.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider").  "The database has been place in a state by "Admin" on machine 'My machine name' that prevents it from being opened or locked."

I had selected "Share Deny None' on the Advanced tab for Access Permissions.

I have to thank you for your attempt to resolve my problem. Someone suggested my access file was corrupted.
I created a new access file and imported all my objects into the new file... and the password issue went away.

THANK YOU!
