hi eric: if i remember it right you were the one who gave me a link (website of the company) where i can buy a software that can "detect" or "get" the password of MDB files which are password protected both as the database itself and as a member of the workgroup (MDW)....

the thing is we had this problem where we are stuck in with MDB Files with passwords (MDW) & the programmer left the company already. we are in a the process of moving our databases into SQL Server..

thanks
