[AccessD] Database Needs Password Protection

Mark:

Had a problem with it though - I put it in an mdb, passed a password
protected mdb with a password of 9 alphanumeric characters but the password
it retrieved was 3 bytes of hex that weren't printable characters.   This is
A2K3.  Could it be looking in the wrong place in the mdb file?

Regards,

Rocky

There is some irony here...

 

Subject = 'Database Needs Password Protection'.

Email= Code to display/crack password.

 

Would it be appropriate to post publically?
