workgroup access connection from excel

[Sean]

Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim dbName As String

Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
dbName = "K:\Admin\Health and Safety Training.mdb"
cnn.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
cnn.Open dbName, "user", "user"

I have the above code to connect to an access database with workgroup
accounts. I get the following error when it gets to the last line of code ->
"Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or
opened exclusively by another user". The workgroup information file is in the
same folder as the database and not in use. "user" is the UID as well as PWD

any help?

thanx

found it ... just in case someone else needs it

Dim MyConn As ADODB.Connection
Set MyConn = New ADODB.Connection


MyConn.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
MyConn.Properties("Data Source") = "K:\Admin\Health and Safety
Training.mdb"
MyConn.Properties("Jet OLEDB:System database") = "K:\Admin\Health and
Safety.MDW"
MyConn.Open UserID:="user", Password:="user"
