Adding passwords to a Paradox Table

Please can someone help me...

I have an application with 100+ databases already in use at a number of
customers sites

I now want to password protect one of the databases (paradox) but I cannot
see how to add a new password
to an existing database from Delphi.
(I would also need to be able to check if the database had already been
passworded so as not password it twice)

many thanks

Re:Adding passwords to a Paradox Table

the example wont compile under Delphi4 - the line

Check(DbiGetObjFromObj(hDBIObj(Table.Handle), objDATABASE,
hDBIObj(hDb)));

gives a compiler error message "Incompatible Types String & Word"

any ideas ?
