Connections store authentication information. For general information about sharing database connections, please see Using Database Connections. Note that different subsets of Database Connection parameters are made available in different contexts.  Connection
Select an existing connection, or Add Database Connection to define a new connection. The new connection can be made visible only to the current user, or can be shared among multiple users. |
Database Connection
Password
The password to access the database.
For existing databases, it may be omitted for Access databases without password protection.
If the database does not exist, then the newly created Microsoft Access database will be protected by this password.
Version
Tells the Microsoft Access writer what version of database should be created. If the database file already exists, the writer will automatically detect and use the correct version.
Overwrite Existing Database
- If this option is unchecked (default) and a database already exists, then tables and features are written to the existing database.
- If this option is checked, any existing database is deleted before writing begins.
If no database exists when writing begins, a new database is created.
Note: After a database is deleted, it cannot be recovered – all data is lost.
Template File
If a template file is specified, the destination file is replaced with a copy of the template before writing begins.
