Only if you're lucky. More likely is that you will become familiar with Dr. Watson and his friends the General Protection Fault and Illegal Access Error. Really, the JDBC-ODBC bridge is not thread safe. You can check out Sun's BugParade where they acknowledge the bug and indicate that it will not be fixed. Randy

Alright, I confess I haven't used jdbc:odbc with access - though I have used it extensively with DB2 and SQL Server. In those cases I get SQLExceptionS rather than Dr.Watson -- * Jim Cheesman * Trabajo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (34)(91) 724 9200 x 2360 In retrospect it becomes clear that hindsight is definitely overrated
Can I connect to an Access database?
Does anyone know of a free driver that I can use to connect via jdbc from Tomcat to a Microsoft Access database? I have looked in the database on java.sun.com, but there are 15 different choices. Just looking for some help on which direction to go. Is this simple, or should I stay away from connecting to access via jdbc entirely? Brandon Cruz Norvax Inc. www.norvax.com
