SYMPTOMS

You may see the message "Not a valid password" displayed when AppWizard or ClassWizard are used to create a CDaoRecordset-derived class.

CAUSE

The Microsoft Access database file being used to generate the class is secure and AppWizard and ClassWizard fail to prompt for a user name and password before trying to open the database.

RESOLUTION

Relax the security on the database so the Wizards won't fail.

-or-

Create another database that has a duplicate schema to be used for generating classes

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
