Open PW-Protected MS Access db using Excel VBA

[Mike]

I have code set up to open an Access database from within Excel using a VB
module. It works, but now I want to add a password to the Access database
and I can not figure out how to do it. Below is the open routine. What do I
need to add to it so it opens it with a password.

Sub OpenMsAccess()
Dim AccessApp As Object

Set AccessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
AccessApp.Visible = True
AccessApp.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:\TestDir\TestDb.mdb"
'process data
AccessApp.Quit
Set AccessApp = Nothing

End Sub

Mike,

Try

AccessApp.OpenCurrentDatabase filepath:="C:\TestDir\TestDb.mdb",
_
bstrPassword:="your password"
