SYMPTOMS
You may see the message "Not a valid password" displayed when AppWizard or
ClassWizard are used to create a CDaoRecordset-derived class.
CAUSE
The Microsoft Access database file being used to generate the class is
secure and AppWizard and ClassWizard fail to prompt for a user name and
password before trying to open the database.
RESOLUTION
Relax the security on the database so the Wizards won't fail.
-or-
Create another database that has a duplicate schema to be used for
generating classes
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article.
