Emiline, 

If you are trying to use/create more than one connection at a time, then you
will probably want to write a connection pool object yourself, particularly
since you are using the ODBC-JDBC bridge.  You will then need to pull a
connection from the pool, use it, then return it to the pool.  This type of
functionality is available to you WITHOUT the headache of writing/testing
your own connection pool is you use a real database and a Type III/IV JDBC
driver.

I would strongly suggest that if you have no other database available to you
other than Access, that you download the free database MySQL.  I have also
seen posts to this listserver of other free databases such as Interbase by
Borland.  You can do a search of the archives of the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] discussion group to find more info on both of
these databases.  Both database's come with JDBC drivers, and offer a much
more realistic learning experience than the JDBC-ODBC bridge.  You will
NEVER use Access and the JDBC-ODBC bridge in a real development project, or
at least I hope you never try to. So I would not waste my time working with
the ODBC-JDBC bridge and Access if you are tying to learn Java and/or JPS's.

Hi Dave,
If I am using under 20 simeltenious connectons is it OK to use JDBC_ODBC 
bridge for Access when only using SELECT statements?
