Carl Prothman has a site that provides ADO connection strings for a
wide variety  of databases and providers. Even though he has
switched over to the dark side.

If using a Workgroup (System Database)

oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
           "Data Source=c:\somepath\mydb.mdb;" & _
           "Jet OLEDB:System Database=MySystem.mdw", _
           "myUsername", "myPassword"
