    I'm trying to just create a simple login program using java and a .odb

    I'm not really sure about how to use the JDBC and its really starting to kill me.
    What drivers do i need to use it or can it be done?

    Any help would be great??

    thnx

    1) Go to Control panel in Windows. Open up 32-bit
    ODBC administrator. On some computers, you have
    to open up Administrative Tools to get to "Data
    Sources - ODBC"
    2) Click on "System DSN"
    3) Click on "Add"
    4) Select "Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb) and click Finish.
    This will open up the "Microsoft ODBC Access Setup" window.
    5) Give a name to your ODB data.
    6) Click the "Select..." button to open up the Select Database window.
    7) In the pull down on the lower left (List Files of Type), select
    the second option, which should be "All Files (*.*)"
    8) Browse for your ODB data file and then click OK, then
    keep clicking Ok.


    Then connect to the ODBC source using the standard Java method (I hope you dont need this told to you.) There is tons of stuff on google about it anway.
