Hello! I have set up a macro on excel that opens our access database, and it works but only opens the password prompt window.
I have the macro attached to an icon in the quick access toolbar. I need to include a code that will add a password and open the switchboard.
Can anyone help?



Sub Macro9()

'Access object

Dim appAccess As Access.Application

'create new access object

Set appAccess = New Access.Application

'open the acces project

Call appAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase( _

"C:\VSAIS\VSAISApp.accdb")

appAccess.Visible = True


End Sub

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Sorry, we are running office 2016. We had everything updated from 2010 to 2016. Our small business' information system is Access db. Since I got no help yesterday, I suppose that I should say that there are several macro codes online I've been trying to copy and paste to the one above and none of them work. One below for example. Each of us have our own copy of the accdb with our own passwords. The Excel Icon will be programmed to open Access db to whatever client form is currently in use on Excel. I really need help.

Dim strSQL As String

Dim adoRecSet As New ADODB.Recordset

Dim connDB As New ADODB.Connection

connDB.Open ConnectionString:="Provider = Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=C:\VSAIS\VSAISApp.accdb; Jet OLEDB: Database

Password=xxxxxxxx"

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Stocks"

adoRecSet.Open Source:=strSQL, ActiveConnection:=connDB, CursorType:=adOpenDynamic, LockType:=adLockOptimistic

Sheets("Stocks").Select

ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset adoRecSet

adoRecSet.Close

connDB.Close

End Sub
