after going through several tutorials and blog posts, i have unsuccessfully tried to set up a connection from java to a microsoft access database. my system specifications are
win 7 [64 bit] odbcad32.ese [64 bit] access 2010 [64 bit] jre6 [64 bit]
the code that i wrote for establishing a connection
public Connection makeConn() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException
{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:\\Users\\ARIFAH\\Desktop\\sampleDb.mdb");
return conn;
}
in the data source [odbc]---[located at path %windir%\system32\odbcad32.exe]
i performed the following task
USER DNS TAB ADD-Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb ) [file ACEODBC.dll] -Finish
Data Source Name: TestDriver ; Description: test driver for access 2010 64 bit ;
DataBase-select -browse: C:\Users\ARIFAH\Desktop\sampleDb.mdb - ok
apply
ok
now when i try to run my application, this is the error that i m getting,
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find file '(unknown)'.
