one where do i get it and how to installs it.

Im not familiar with doing this so all help is appreciated.

According to the post which shows your error message, you appear to be
using the Sun JDBC/ODBC Driver. That driver can be found in the rt.jar
file. If you have a JDK installed on your machine, rt.jar can be found
in the jre\lib folder. If you have a JRE installed on your machine, you
should find it in the lib folder. As long as you have the JDK or the JRE
in your PATH, your Java program should be able to find it and use it.

I'm going to do a few tests just to verify this on my machine, then I'll
post back. This is just a quick note to let you know that I'm working on
the problem.


Sorry, I thought that should work but when I tried it, I got the same
problem you did: ClassNotFoundException when I tried to load the driver.
I had rt.jar in the Build Path (the Eclipse equivalent of Classpath) and
even moved it to the top but it made no difference. For some reason, it's
not seeing the driver and I can't think of anything else to try offhand.

Why don't you try going to the comp.lang.java.databases newsgroup? Try a
Google Groups search on Access or the driver name first since someone
must have had and solved this problem before. If that doesn't work, try a
new post and explain your problem.

Post back here when you have the answer; now that I've spent time on your
problem, I'm interested in hearing the solution ;-)

Don't forget that if you're using ODBC you need to set up a DSN that maps
the dbname to a real database.

Yes, I expected to have to do that. But it doesn't explain why we get the
ClassNotFoundException while trying to load the driver.
