Thanks but that did not help

I tried the below on a test on my work laptop and on my personnal latop with a test database.

I have no password on the database, then all works correctly.

as soon s I enable password in the database, the the reload does not work

ODBC force 32 bit

Test connection result

The ODBC link has connected using the database password.

i now add in the SQL Select

and I now get the error messagetest5.jpg

I have tried the OLEDB force 32 bit connection

test6.jpgtest7.jpg

and get this message

test8.jpg

This all worked fine the other week, nothing seems to have changed unless a Windows update is causing this, other people seem to be having the same issues,

If I remove the database password then like I say all works fine, but that then leaves the database un protected.

Has anyone got any ideas on what could be casuing this.

many thanks for looking

Hi Michael,

what kind of ACCESS DB do you have? (accdb or mdb)? you can hide you script in qlikview (in the case: you dont use the password)

Hi Michael,

have you done these steps?

step 1: SELECT "OLE DB " in the Database tab

step2: Check "force 32 Bit"

step3: Click "Connect"

step4: in the "Data Link Properties ". Select "Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLEDB Provider"

step5: Click "Next"

step6: You will be directed to "Connection Tab"

step7: Copy and paste the complete/full path of the Access Database ("E\.....\yourDatabase.accdb")

step8: Go to "Advanced tab", uncheck "Share Deny None" and Check "Read/Write"

step9: Go to "Connection tab" and click "Test Connection"

step10: then you will have a message : "Test Connection succeeded"

step11: Click "OK"

if yes, what kind of message do you have?
