Can you provide more info on how i would indicate this info? I currently
only have it set to open access and then as you stated, the /x macro. I
pasted if this helps.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE"
"\\05-mis-a2\CRM\Database\DB.mdb"/x InventoryAutoUpdate


I greatly appreciate it!!! I'll continue to see if i can figure it out, but
this is my first scheduled task.

Thank you!!


Is this a database password, or User Level Security (workgroup security)?
They're different! If you have a .mdw file with user and group names and user
passwords you need to reference the workgroup:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE"
"\\05-mis-a2\CRM\Database\DB.mdb"/x InventoryAutoUpdate
/wrkgrp "\\05-mis-a2\CRM\database\SomeFile.mdw" /user JoeUser /pwd MyPassword

If it's a password protected database I'm guessing the /pwd command line
switch will work but the Help is ambiguous and I haven't tried it!
