Hi to all.. I'm new to java... and i wanted to know how can i connect MS Access database to a program... i'm using netbeans and eclipse as an editor.. umm and if sum1 can giv me a simple example of using database in GUI Forms.. like simple scanning of database, it would really be helpful... coz i nid to learn some simple commands.. thanks in advance! :D
Pl. refer to http://www.netbeans.org/kb/41/using-netbeans/dbconn.html. The tutorial can be used either with NetBeans 4.1 (http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php?type=4.1) or Java Studio Enterprise 8 (http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/downloads/index.jsp) .
If you are using NetBeans 5.0 (http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php?type=5.0) or Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 Beta (http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jsenterprise/downloads/index.jsp) , then you can use http://www.netbeans.org/kb/50/using-netbeans/dbconn.html .
The tutorials use pointbase and derby databases; if you would like to use the tutorial for ms-access , you will need to download and install relevant jdbc driver:

Hope that helps.
