The class runs fine when I omit s.executeUpdate(). I am unsure of what the problem might be. I am using Windows XP and connecting to an Access database. Thanks for your help.

package be314;
import java.sql.*;
public class Fordate1 {
public static void main (String args []) {
try {
Class.forName(
"sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection c = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc dbc:Music");
System.out.println("A success");
Statement s = c.createStatement();
s.executeUpdate (
"CREATE TABLE Customer (CustomerID INTEGER, Address VARCHAR
(25))");
ResultSet r =
s.executeQuery(
"SELECT Albums.Album FROM Albums WHERE Albums.Album)
Between 'A' And 'B')");
while(r.next()) {
System.out.println(
r.getString("Album"));
}
System.exit(0);
} catch (Exception) {
System.exit(0);
}
}
}

It would greatly help if you would print the error message in the catch block. My guess, from looking at your source code, is that the table Customer that you're trying to create already exists in the database.

Thank you Lu. I went ahead and printed out the error message and you were absolutely correct.

you have an error in the syntax of your SELECT statement after WHERE. Take off the paren.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
