Hi all,

I want to open a mdb file with the DAO 35 or 36.  I am ok to open the 
file if it does not have a password.  However OpenDatabase failed if the 
file is protected by a password.

Here is what I have:

import win32com.client
engine = win32com.client.Dispatch("DAO.DBEngine.35")
db = engine.OpenDatabase(r"config.per", Options='sorbier')

I thought that the Options equal the password would do, but it did not.  
What do you suggest?
