If you're dealing with Access, you'll also need an ODBC driver. There
should be
one on your Office professional CD, but it doesn't get installed during
a normal
installation. Basically JDBC will communicate with your Access database
via ODBC.
Or, you could convert your Access database to something like MySQL, whih
would
be more robust, and ou wouldn't need to worry about ODBC.
In any case, here's the Sun page for JDBC:
