The username and password on the connection has to be the username and password of the database. Post the code you have... And if all else fails the DAO method is a lot easier.

Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
    Dim db As DAO.Database
    Set db = CurrentDb
    Dim path As String
    
    '--------------------------------------------------------
    'BACKEND DATABASE PATH
    path = "C:\path\DB.mdb"
    '-----------------------------------------------------------
    
    'Open all tables
    Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT Name " & _
                                    "FROM MSysObjects IN '" & path & "' " & _
                                    "WHERE Type=1 AND Flags=0")

    'Retrieve data from a table
    Me.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM [TBL] IN '" & path & "'"
    Me.Requery
