Greetings, Kindly note the following specifications of the products I`m using: [INDENT][INDENT] ArcMap 9.3 MS Access 2007 [/INDENT][/INDENT] I have 3 layers in my mxd (ArcMap93) that read their sources from a Personal Geodatabase (access2007). Later on, I set a password to this PGDB for security issues. Then when I opened the ArcMap, I found that the layers missed their datasources. I tried to set their datasources from that PGDB but I couldn`t connect to it and the following pop-up message shown: "Failed to connect to database. The user and/or password is invalid. Not a valid password."  Is there a way to set a layer datasource in ArcMap to a PGDB that is encrypted with a password? Thanks in advance for any try to help or advise.... ... View more

I have tried to refresh the active view but still the template object (table) is not reading the updates from the excel file. Please advise becuase it is very urgent.. Help me~! ... View more

Greetings, I have implemented a custom code that adds a toolbar containing commands to the ArcMap 9.3. I used the "IToolBarDef" Interface and I added "Icommands" on this toolbar. And I have used many global variable to hold the paths of my database, layers, ... etc I have these database, layers,...etc folders in my desktop. But after I close the ArcMap and try to move/remove or rename these folder, the windows pop a message saying that these folders are in use and can`t be edited. So, the ArcMap / My Custom code is still preserving the link to these folders even after I close the ArcMap. The workaround I used is to restart the windows. I hope someone will  help me how to solve this without restarting my pc every time I want to edit those folders because it is been a critical situation to me. Thanks all... ... View more
