Select into table in another database that is password protected?

Question

In Microsoft Access 2003 and Visual Basic 6 I\'m trying to copy a table to another access database that is password protected like this...

Select * INTO tabl         


        

Answer 1

If doesn't work this

SELECT * INTO [;PWD=TestPass;DATABASE=C:\Docs\database2.mdb].table2 FROM table1

Try to add "" like this

SELECT * INTO [";PWD=TestPass;DATABASE=C:\Docs\database2.mdb"].table2 FROM table1

It worked for me (Delphi with jet SQL)

Answer 2

How about:

SELECT * INTO Table2 IN '' [MS Access;PWD=TestPass;DATABASE=C:\Docs\database2.mdb]
FROM Table1

These days I would be more inclined to use something like the line below, it gives more control and allows for different back-ends:

SELECT * INTO Table2 FROM [MS Access;PWD=password;DATABASE=C:\Docs\database2.mdb].Table1

You can put any valid connection string between the square brackets.
