Password Protected File
This is sort of a weird question. I'm helping an agency develop a Microsoft Access database. They use windows and I use Fedora. I can run Access in Crossover Office if I don't get too fancy.
I've sent what I've done to them for their review and comments and somehow it has become password protected. I've checked the Access settings and their is no password set from Access. I've tried a chmod666 on the file and sent it to him again and he says it is still calling for a password.
Anyone have any ideas what might be going on here?
TIA

i've seen that before. try the password 'eulaviolated' or some variation (caps, etc.)

For the record
It was not Linux or Access. I was able to send him the file using his gmail account and he could open it.
Must be some sort of security setting somewhere along the line.

A corrupted Access DB can be misinterpreted by Access as "password protected." It's a common issue - more info available via Google. Zipping the file before sending will help ensure consistency.
