>UserID = "Debbie", Password = "3119"
I think you'll be closer if you change that to:
"UserID = Debbie; Password = 3119"
1) Debbie and 3119 do not need their own quotes (neither did any other
arguments in the preceding part of the string)
2) the phrase as a whole does need to be enclosed in quotes (just like you
have done for everything that preceded it).
3) Comma bad. Semi-colon good.
Consider assigning everything to a variable, "strConnection", and then use
OConn.Open strConnection. You can easily test the value of strConnection in
the Debug window and some concatenation errors become obvious.

Actually, according to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ado270/htm/mdrefjetprovspec.asp
there should be a space in User Id
Another good site for information on connection strings is Carl Prothman's
http://www.carlprothman.net/Default.aspx?tabid=87#OLEDBProviderForMicrosoftJet
In fact, Carl's site suggests
oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My
Documents\DTS\DPD\ClientDB\ClientDBBE.mdb;" & _
"Jet OLEDB:System Database=C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application
Data\Microsoft\Access\ClientSharedSystem.mdw", _
"Debbie", "3119"
