hi friend,
it is easy to connect to a microsoft's databases (mssql server, ms-access)..
use JTURBO driver to connect to the database (it is a TYPE IV driver) u can download the driver from
www.jturbo.com and code is
Connection con=null;
Class.forname("com.ashna.jturbo.driver.Driver");
con=DriverManger.getConnection("jdbc:JTurbo://servername:1433/databasename","username","password");
u can get the connection using this code..
