Hello everyone, I fixed my problem by performing the following steps: 1. Deleted the System DSN datasource. 2. Re-installed Access 97 database (ODBC) drivers onto the NT server. No reboot of server was necessary. Voila! The servlet works without error. I should not have had to do this since I had installed the identical Access 97 drivers (using the same CD) last week and then had proceeded to create the System DSN for the Access 97 database. I guess Microsoft likes you to do things twice! Microsoft proverb: "When in doubt, re-install!" Once again, thank-you to everyone who responded to my problem. Brian Mrkonjic PS Sean, I still can't reference your posted message. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
