title: Linked Query in Access 2010 to a database that is password protected.
body: <p>I am trying to make a linked query, very similar to a linked table, in Access 2010. I have built a query in one database where the source database is another database. This allows me to select all from the query in the other database (SQL shown below.) The only problem is the other database is encrypted with a password, so when I run the query it displays the error message, "Not a valid password." </p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT qry_Report.*
  FROM qry_Report IN 'Location of Database.Database'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The reason I don't move everything over to the new database is because the query is somewhat complex and has 12 tables in it. I could link those 12 tables and copy the query over, but I would rather not. The database I am working on is front end and more for reporting purpopses. </p>
  
  <p>Please let me know if there is a quick and easy fix for this, or if there is a better way to do this.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you is advance!</p>
