Crystal asking for Access password when none is set 3

[Roz]

I have 2 Access databases.&nbsp;&nbsp;One is on our Intranet page.&nbsp;&nbsp;Occasionally I copy records from the web db to a local db and generate reports in Access. I copied several records as usual, then went to Crystal to generate report.&nbsp;&nbsp;This time Crystal is requesting a password to open session. I have made no changes to dbs or Crystal report since last report.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have recently installed Seagate Info and Analysis, but have not used them with this report.<br><br>&nbsp;I have checked the Access database, used the clear options, even set a password and tried it.&nbsp;&nbsp;How can I get rid of this password request?

Roz,<br><br>I may have the same situation as you. I'm creating a demo CD for my software written in VB6.0 w/ MS Access, and Crystal reports. Because the demo database was also on the CD I had to open the db's exclusively and readonly. When I tried to run a report I was asked for a MS Access password. I never had a passoword on them. This may be some help in figuring out your solution. <br><br>??? Can I make Crystal open an Access DB and Tables in exclusive and readonly mode???<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Brock

Roz, I was just wondering if you were ever able to resolve this issue? I am having a similar problem.

This is such a popular subject, Seagate has written a white paper on it. Don't know the file name, but a search on http:\\

should find it fairly easily. Malcolm
