| After installing a vb-access application to a pc, I am encountering an error 'Invalid Password' everytime I access. I have already installed the MDAC 2.8 but the error still persists. I did install this to other workstations and no error has been encountered.Would appreciate your help. Thank you so much. |

We developed an accounting application in VB6 and access as database. To some workstations, the application is running smoothly. But to some, we encountered 'type mismatch' or 'invalid password' (application error message) errors. From experiences of our colleagues, they advise us to install MDAC 2.8. And after installing the MDAC 2.8, the error type mismatch does not appear anymore. But for the 'invalid password' error, still not addressed by the MDAC. It seems that the system cannot recognize the records in our tables to match passwords, userids etc. I am just wondering, why is not working to some workstations?  What else can you suggest to address the problem? Thanks so much. |

| Are you talking about a SQL Server login password, or an application-specific login/password? Can you connect to SQL Server using Query Analyzer, for example?The only thing I can think of is that some computers have different regional settings that might be the cause of the problem, but that's just a WAG. |
