ODBC Access db Problem. Please Help

[Soumya Ranjan Mohanty]

How to include MS access database in a JAR file.

Here is my code

String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=D:/sm.mdb";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection( url );

Works fine but When i try to do the following this an exception is generated

String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=./sm.mdb";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection( url );

Actually here i want to put the Access db in my Project class directory and include all in a Jar file. Please Help me.

Hi Soumya,

I have removed colors and big fonts from your mail, and placed your code between code tags.
It is easier to read now.

Have a look at this JavaRanch thread. The same question is discussed there.
