Can someone tell me how a Visual Basic 6.0 application can access a protected access database that I can't access using MS Access directly because I don't have the necessary permissions? The app can open the database without problems, but I can't open it with ms access. the app, the database and MS access are on the same computer. I use 6windows 10 with ms office 2010. The database i am trying to open was created with ms access 97

I have just taken over an Access database and I have very limited Access experience and am much more comfortable in the Server Management Studio envrionment. How do I connect to the access database from SSMS as I can't seem to get this right (which may just be caused by my lack of MS Access experience). The Access Database is on a shared network drive, but only accessed by myself.
I plan to package and deploy an ms access .accdb that I've created in access 2016 using SSE Setup to a user that has a full version of access 2003. If the package installs Access 2016 runtime, will it corrupt the 2003 software, or will it only affect the accdb that I am packaging
I am making a windows application that uses MS Access 2007 as backend database. To install this application on other machines, the machine need to have MS Access 2007 or MS Access Runtime 2007. As MS Access Runtime 2007 is redistributable I decided to bundle it in my MSI.
Problem is that in Visual Studio 2008, in prerequisite options I can not find MS Access Runtime 2007 as an option, rather I have Microsoft Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies. So I am not sure how to proceed.
Someone's feedback with previous experience on the same will be helpful.
If you are only using an ACCDB to store data then you don't need Access 2007 or the Access 2007 run time. All you need is the Access Database Engine or Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable
However I can't answer the rest of your question.
I have a MS Access 2007 database and a WSS 3.0 site (neither of which I am very experienced in). The database is currently stored on a shared drive with users remoting in to work with it. In an effort to improve usability and performance, I want to host this db on my WSS 3.0 site. Is this feasible? I need to be able to access and edit data using forms, as well as run reports, all through the UI of the sharepoint site.
You can host an .accdb on a WSS 3.0 site, but users will need Access 2007 to open the database. See this article for basic info: http://office.com/redir.aspx?assetID=HA010131469.
If you want to host Access on Sharepoint and let folks who don't have Access use the database, you need Access 2010 and Sharepoint Server 2010: http://office.com/redir.aspx?assetID=HA010356866.
can access 2010 open a 2003 database that has the old mdw security
Although User Level Security is not supported for the new ACCDB database format, Access 2010 (just like Access 2007) can still use it with MDB format databases. See what Microsoft has to say on this topic: Introduction to Access 2010 security
