Linked tables across password-protected shares

A satisfactory resolution to a relatively simple problem has eluded me lately, so I figured I'd give these forums a try:

The MDB backend is nestled inside a password-protected fileshare. I need a method to access this file for linked tables, hopefully transparent from the user. Ideally, this should not give the user the ability to navigate to the fileshare manually if the database has already logged in, i.e., it should be local solely to the database.

The only other solution I've found so far is to login to the share manually with explorer, then open application. However, there is likely a more elegant way of doing this that I'm unaware of.

Thanks in advance,
