i'm no expert in Microsoft Access... try using the following code..where dsn_name is the name of the data source name(DSN) created for the database.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc

dbc:[B]dsn_name/B]" , "login_name", "password");
Statement s = con.createStatement();
--sumana.
