Thanks for your reply. I am try to connect with my 'Book.mdb' file through the following code. I created the 'User DSN' connection of Book.mdb and it's appearing well in the list.
Further, when I try to run the code it runs and shows the runtime error something like below on DOS but creates the GUI well as desired:
"java.sql.SQLException: [...][Microsoft Access Driver Manager]Data source name or the established driver which is appointed are not found." something like this as far as i remember.
Could anybody suggest me what i am mistaking in establishing the connection with my database.
Thank you very much in advance for your help...

can't tell what your url actually is due to the smilie face formatting, but you may be missing a colon.
String sourceURL = "jdbc dbc:Books" ;
NOPE! I just read mine after the formatting and it turned out the same! I don't use the smilies too much so I wasn't sure...eek ! , I guess I was a little confused .

I noticed you're trying to get the connection without using a username or password. What happens if you specify the username and password as arbitrary String fields?

Nathanael is problably right just try leaving the place for the username and password empty if you don�t have to autenticate this is a commom mistake try it like this:
connection = DriverManager.getConnection( sourceURL,"","");

Your data source name is "Book.mdb", but you use "jdbc dbc:Books" in your DriverManager.getConnection(), remove "s" of "Books", it should work, otherwise you should check if your data source is created correctly.

Thank you all very very much for your kind help and suggestions.
Actually the problem was that I was not giving the correct table name but was only providing the database name which caused that the connection could not establish due to the wrong table name and it did not work even though all the codes was okay and the file name was also ok but the table name was not Now it works fine and provide the desired results...
Thank you very much again for participating and helping...
Kind regards
