Hi! all.....
i am facing a problem while executing the following code.The program runs fine if i give DSN variable as....
String dsn = "jdbc dbc:Test";
but when i try to give my DSN variable by attaching my machine ip address to it in the following manner an error results..
String dsn = "jdbc dbc://172.17.211.38:400/Test";
i m connecting to an MS Access database with dsn name as 'Test' configured thru Data Sources(ODBC) in control panel.....and by now u must have understood that i want to connect to my database from a different machine in the LAN....pls. help me.
the error is:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Welcome to the Ranch 'Zombie'!
You'll find this forum a great place to seek help on JDBC, and there aren't many rules you'll have to worry about, but one is that proper names are required. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and change your display name to match it.
In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.
Thanks!

Also please use the UBB code tags to enclose any posted code, which will perserve the formatting. Most people will not read a bunch of unformatted code.

Thanks Ajay for trying to comply with the naming policy. However, you apparently did not pay attention to this part:

your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character


thanks,
bear

Read the JDBC FAQ:

5. How can I use the JDBC API to access a desktop database like Microsoft Access over the network?
Most desktop databases currently require a JDBC solution that uses ODBC underneath. This is because the vendors of these database products haven't implemented all-Java JDBC drivers.
The best approach is to use a commercial JDBC driver that supports ODBC and the database you want to use. See the JDBC drivers page for a list of available JDBC drivers.
The JDBC-ODBC bridge from Sun's Java Software does not provide network access to desktop databases by itself. The JDBC-ODBC bridge loads ODBC as a local DLL, and typical ODBC drivers for desktop databases like Access aren't networked. The JDBC-ODBC bridge can be used together with the RMI-JDBC bridge, however, to access a desktop database like Access over the net. This RMI-JDBC-ODBC solution is free.

Thanks Joe Ess.....
the link you referred to proved really helpful.....
i used the following url for dsn:
String dsn = "jdbc dbc river={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//localhost/DataBase/test.mdb";
and the code worked fine......but i had to share the database folder.
there is one more thing i want to know.....how can one map a n/w drive???
