So how do you do this step by step?
Say that i've made a database and saved it.
Now what do i do?
I know there are some lines of code to actually open the database in a java application yet are there more steps i have to go through before i can even open it? I tried using some code i got from a site yet had no luck.
So step by step what do I do?
1, I saved the databade
Whats next?
Some code would be helfull too =] Thx alot.

Hi! Kevin.....
here is ur step by step procedure to connect to an access DB...
1.) Create a system DSN for ur DataBase(*.mdb file)
to learn how to do this u can go thru this WebSite:
http://www.webwizguide.info/asp/tutorials/setting_up_dsn.asp
2.) In ur java code load the jdbc-odbc bridge driver in the following manner:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
3.) Create a connection using :
String url = "jdbc dbc:Ajay";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"myLogin", "myPassword");
where Ajay is ur system DSN name.and if u don't have any passord or login then ur connection variables wud be like this:
String url = "jdbc dbc:Ajay";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"", "");
4.) Next is creating statement objects and resultset objects......For complete info on this u can read the following tutorial..

5.) u can have look at this sample code :
Hope all this helps u solve ur problem.
