Here is some VBA code that I lifted from a Microsoft Access Module that
does what you want in that situation. You should be able to modify it to your
purposes.
Private Sub cmdOk_Click()
Dim conDatabase As ADODB.Connection
Dim SQL As String
Dim intCheckPwd As Integer
On Error GoTo Error_Handler
Set conDatabase = Application.CurrentProject.Connection
'check that both new and confirm passwords are nonempty
If ((IsNull(txtConfirmPwd)) Or (IsNull(txtNewPwd))) Then
MsgBox ("Enter both and new and confirm password")
Exit Sub
End If
'Check that the new and confirmed passwords match.
intCheckPwd = StrComp(txtNewPwd, txtConfirmPwd, vbBinaryCompare)
'Determine if we are changing/clearing the current password
'or setting a new one.
If txtOldPwd.Enabled = False And intCheckPwd = 0 Then
SQL = "ALTER DATABASE PASSWORD " & txtNewPwd & " NULL"
conDatabase.Execute SQL
MsgBox "The new password was successfully set.", vbInformation
'Change the current password.
ElseIf intCheckPwd = 0 Then
'Check that the old password was given.
If IsNull(txtOldPwd) Then
MsgBox "Please enter the current (old) password.", _
vbInformation
txtOldPwd.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
SQL = "ALTER DATABASE PASSWORD " & txtNewPwd & " " & txtOldPwd
conDatabase.Execute SQL
MsgBox "The password was successfully changed.", vbInformation
'Password was not confirmed.
Else
MsgBox "The password was not confirmed. Please try again.", _
vbExclamation
txtConfirmPwd = vbNullString
txtConfirmPwd.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
'Close out the form and all object variables.
conDatabase.Close
Set conDatabase = Nothing
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmDBPassword"
Exit Sub
Error_Handler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical
End Sub

news:us**************@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl... This sets the password which the user connects with.
What I want to do is to be able to change the password for the database
within vb.net to a password of the users choice.
INside access in the Tools menu there is Security/Set Password. Somehow
have to be able to access that function.
