I have to change/apply password to Access database by opening it in Exclusive mode and then change/apply password to it.
I then close database file and close Access, and even I restarted my computer and try your instructions but on Test Connection got this error.
"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user."
I did the same process as you describe before asking this question, but the error above mentioned occured.
So, tell me now what should I do.

I do not know what your error is, but it worked when I did so. I will try to find it. Try to do kostasdiktia2's example.

Nonetheless, thanks.
I'll try kostasdiktia2's example.

temp = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath("Data.mdb")
temp = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Password="""";User ID=Admin;Data Source=" & temp & ";Mode=ReadWrite;Extended Properties="""";Jet OLEDB:System database="""";Jet OLEDB:Registry Path="""";Jet OLEDB:Database Password="""";Jet OLEDB:Engine Type=5;Jet OLEDB:Database Locking Mode=1;Jet OLEDB:Global Partial Bulk Ops=2;Jet OLEDB:Global Bulk Transactions=1;Jet OLEDB:New Database Password="####";Jet OLEDB:Create System Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Encrypt Database=False;Jet OLEDB:Don't Copy Locale on Compact=False;Jet OLEDB:Compact Without Replica Repair=False;Jet OLEDB:SFP=False"
OleDbConnection1.ConnectionString = temp
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
This is an example with a database from data.mdb file (Access file)!
First, I put in temp the path.
Next, I put in temp the connection string of database (in field #### you must write the password)
*I am not 100% sure if it wants password there or in first line! Make combinations!
And finally, I change the connecion string of my OledbConnection..

I'll try your solution.
At this moment, I'm building my software without database password. I'll try your solution and then inform you. While please tell me, in your solution, you use Password string many times and in the end advice me to enter my password in place of ####, tell me I only have to enter password in place of #### or everywhere you use Password.
|
|
|
|
|
Look..
I am not sure 100%,that I told you..so, make some combinations for the "where", but you can find informations for this in Web..Sorry for my incomplete help..but i dont want make mistakes and make difficult your job..  
Friendly..
|
|
|
|
|
OK I'll try different combinations.
Tell me how this line of code will work.
temp = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath("Data.mdb")
What I understand is this:
>>First you declare temp as string
Now tell me how VB.NET knows where is Data.mdb, I mean did you include it in project as something & if you did tell me how? All steps in detail please of the above line.

Ok listen...
First of all:
Imports System.IO 'on the top of your code
Dim temp as string 'in your code
Next step, is to add the .mdb file (Access file) (for example Data.mdb) to your project! Because in the future, you may built a setup to install this program in other computers, its good this file have the path of your .exe, so you must add it in C:\...\EXAMPLEPROJECT\bin if you have Visual Studio 7 or in C:\...\EXAMPLEPROJECT\bin\Debug\ if you have Visual Studio 8!
So this code line [temp = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath("Data.mdb")] take the path of your .exe and add in the end of this string the "\Data.mdb"..so you have the path of your Access file, which now is in folder with your .exe!
If you have more questions..tell me...
I hope I help you... ;)

I am using SQL Server 2000 as my DB and 2003 is my Dev environment. I wanted to know is there any method by which I can get number of parameters in any give Stored procedure.

I am not expert, so I don't know exectly but I'll tell you that I think. Ok?
If you use
exec sp_helptext 'StoredProcedureName'
you'll get the Text . Using that text you can count your parameter. Have a nice job.

There is a better way than the one already suggested.
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS
WHERE SPECIFIC_NAME='StoredProcedureName'

Thank you, it’s a great information.
But earlier I did it with the below code. Can you make any suggestion on this. My actual intention was to check whether particular column exists in sp’s parameter list.
Declare @Id as numeric
Select @Id = id from sysobjects where name like '%SP_Name%'
Select * from syscolumns where name like 'Column_Name' and Id =@id

That sould be more efficient if you did WHERE name = 'SP_Name'
Let's say you have a two stored procedures called GetData and GetDataForUser. You want to find the number of parameters for GetData. Using the code you supplied you can't tell if it will return the parameters for GetData or GetDataForUser because you gave it wild cards which say that you are looking for a procedure with GetData somewhere in the name.
I would suggest that the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS way is easier to work with. If you examine the properties of the view itself, you'll see that it is just using sysobjects and syscolumns as well.

Yes, you are right, I just checked by running both queries simultaneously and I found that the code you have suggested executed faster then mine.
Thanks a lot…..

Hello!
I got an answer from Dave but whatever I tried didn't wotk out to solve PInvokeStackImbalance problem. I am using VS 2005. Eventough I changed the Integers in the GetshortPath declaration below I still got the same problem.
I have included the code below. If you can see the problem, please let me know.
Thanks!
<dllimport("kernel32.dll", setlasterror:="True," charset:="CharSet.Auto)"> _
Public Shared Function GetShortPathName(ByVal longPath As String, <marshalas(unmanagedtype.lptstr)> ByVal ShortPath As StringBuilder, <marshalas(unmanagedtype.u4)> ByVal bufferSize As Integer) As Integer
End Function
Private Function GetDosPath(ByVal LongPath As String) As String
Dim sb As New StringBuilder(1024)
On Error Resume Next '++
Dim retVal As Integer = Interop.GetShortPathName(longPath, sb, 1024) '<-- error occurs at that line
If retVal <> 0 Then
Dim sTemp As String = sb.ToString()
GetDosPath = sTemp
Else
Console.WriteLine("Error occured. GetLastError returns {0}.", Marshal.GetLastWin32Error())
End If
End Function
|

You've supplied everything except the one piece we need - the original C function header!
Is this the GetShortPathName in the WIn32 Api??? If so, then the Declare should look like this (from PInvoke.net):
<DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError:=True, CharSet:=CharSet.Auto)> _
Public Shared Function GetShortPathName(ByVal longPath As String, _
<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)> ByVal ShortPath As StringBuilder, _
<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)> ByVal bufferSize As Integer) As Integer
End Function
Private Sub TestShortPath()
Dim sb As New StringBuilder(1024)
Dim longPath As String
Dim sFileName As String
longPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal)
Dim retVal As Integer = Interop.GetShortPathName(longPath, sb, 1024)
If retVal <> 0 Then
Dim sTemp As String = sb.ToString()
MessageBox.Show(sTemp)
Else
Console.WriteLine("Error occured. GetLastError returns {0}.", Marshal.GetLastWin32Error())
End If
End Sub
