access database password problem

Hi,

I currently have an application where configuration settings are stored in a MS Access Database which I access using the Database Connectivity Toolkit. This all works fine, however I now need to apply a password to database.

I have applied a password to the database in Access however when I try and connect I get the error code -2147217843 and a message saying 'the workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user....'. I have tested the connection using the Data Link editor and get a similar error.

I'm using LabVIEW 8.5.1

Windows7

Jet 4

any thoughts?
