doubt -very urgent help needed

[lp]

hi
i have been trying to writing a java program to acess the values of the tables that are stored in an another site(not on my pc ) in the form of mysql tables.my question is that do i require to have a mysql driver in my odbc driver(i.e home computer) to run this code sucessfully .i at present dont have the driver installed ,whenever i complied and run the code i am getting an error -
Class not foundException rg:gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
Please answer my question
Thanks in advance
Lakshmi

Do you have a typo in your Class.forName line?
If you cut and pasted the error, it looks like you have a colon instead of a period org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver instead of org:gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
Also, did you download the mySQL driver from gjt.org?
Sorry, gotta cover the simple questions.
Dave.

Yeah, that's what it looks like to me. Make sure the driver (in jar format) is in your classpath as well.
