BUG: Wizards Fail on Secure Microsoft Access Database

ID: Q153291

The information in this article applies to:

The AppWizard, included with:
- Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0

SYMPTOMS

You may see the message "Not a valid password" displayed when AppWizard or ClassWizard are used to create a CDaoRecordset-derived class.

CAUSE

The Microsoft Access database file being used to generate the class is secure and AppWizard and ClassWizard fail to prompt for a user name and password before trying to open the database.

RESOLUTION

Relax the security on the database so the Wizards won't fail.

-or-

Create another database that has a duplicate schema to be used for generating classes
