My question is how can I connect to an Access database (mdb). Is it possible to use the username and password that I setup using User-level security in the access database for the login in page? If so how?

Thank You,

I havn't been doing this that long, but as far as I have been able to tell... to use a mdb as a back end(like in development or some thing), it must not be a secured mdb... the web server must be able to get into the mdb without worring about a username and password...

just my experiense as limited as it is...

You should be able to do this. However, you'll need to build your connection up so that it has the username and password entered. Not sure how you would check to see if the login is successful besides opening the connection in a try catch block and seeing if it will actually open.

Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction. That'l do donkey, that'l do
