Dear Timothy,
 
Thanks so much for replying =)
 
I thought you don't have to set classpath for ODBC driver. I thought it's all done when I set the System DSN in ControlPanel->ODBC Administrator. And when I want to make a connection to the DSN I just use:
 

Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" ).newInstance();

connDB = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:odbc:FroggoDB", "sa", ""); //FroggoDB is the name of the DSN

FYI, I was able to connect to a MSAccess db. But because using MSAccess gives me a "Cannot open anymore tables" error, I thought I should try SQL Server. But looks like I can't even make the connection yet :(

How do I know where my SQL Server 7.0 ODBC driver is? What type of file will it be? .jar? .exe? .dll?

Best regards, Kim.

Dear all,

I know I'm a bit off-topic but I'm desperate.... If anyone of you have come across this error before, I would very much appreciate your input.

I have a JSP page that connects to a MS SQL Server 7.0 database. When I point my browser to the JSP page, I get the following error:

An error occurred: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index
