Hi DavidB023,

As I know, currently Password-protected Access database files are still not supported. And there already exists an Idea for it. You can vote it up.

  Dear all,
  Has this been resolved in the meantime, i.e. can I import an password protected Access Database?
  If not, does this mean I just have to delete the password and will then be able to import the file?
  Thanks for your help!
  Best wishes,
  Simon

  I know this is an old post, but I see no traction in the upvotes. Also there is mention of OLE DB connection but what if the database is in Sharepoint and not in a drive?
