Re: Can't load jdbc driver

Jeff: You shouldn't need to unzip it, just register the zip file (not just the directory it is in) in you CLASSPATH.   BTW:  You should use the classes111.zip from Oracle8 v8.1.5  It has less problems than the others.   Thor HW ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffrey L.
