Reconect link to database MS Access VBA

 To connect to a Microsoft Access database using VBA, you can use the ADODB.Connection object. You will need to specify the database location and provide a valid username and password if the database is password-protected. Here is an example of how to connect to a database:

Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection

cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\mydatabase.accdb;User Id=admin;Password=mypassword;"

Once you have established a connection, you can use SQL statements to query and manipulate the data in the database. It is important to properly close the connection when you are finished using it to avoid leaving the database open and vulnerable to unauthorized access. Here is an example of how to close the connection:

cn.Close

Set cn = Nothing

It is recommended to wrap the connection and closing code in a try-catch block to handle any errors that may occur during the connection process.

Try

    Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection

    cn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\mydatabase.accdb;User Id=admin;Password=mypassword;"

    ' Perform database operations here

    cn.Close

    Set cn = Nothing

Catch ex As Exception

    ' Handle any errors that may occur

End Try

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
