What are you passing to the method? We need to see some code in order to be able to help. The method call locates and loads the DB driver, and it expects a string. Bosun

String url = "jdbc dbc://localhost/servers"; //can't get rid of the smiley! Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url); I have tried substituting with a String and leaving it blank. Both give the same error. Cheers

Neither could I! However I have got it working now! IT was all to do with a } being in the wrong place! Threw off at tangents chasing this error. Thanks for trying anyway, Nizan.
