suggestions:
1. try without creating a new instance for the driver
2. change the DriverManager method to include user name and password. Try
using DriverManager.getConnection(url , username , password)

Subject: Problem connecting to MS Access database on NT using ODBC
bridge
Hi,
I have encountered a problem when attempting to connect to a MS Access
database hosted on an NT Server running JRun using a servlet. I have created
an ODBC datasource for the Access database on the NT server.
I first used a simple Java program to connect to the database and output
some records from a table. It executed successfully.
I then used the identical code in a simple servlet. The code snippet for
connecting to the database is as follows:
// The name of the JDBC driver to use
String driverName = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
// The JDBC connection URL
String connectionURL = "jdbc:odbc:MyAccessDataSource";
try {
// Create an instance of the JDBC driver so that it has
// a chance to register itself
Class.forName(driverName).newInstance();
// Create a new database connection.
con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL);
...
At this point in the execution, I get the following error message:
Exception! java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access
Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'DriverId'. at

Any help/insights would be appreciated,
