hi geoff... i think that the jar files for the driver is corrupt somehow... i solved the problem by unzipping them and voila it worked
also remember to set the correct database schema in the datasource sincerely morten wilken ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Orion-Interest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 16. november 2001 17:25 Subject: Microsoft JDBC Driver - Issues w/ Data Source > I'm having some issues with using the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver with > Orion. > > Let me give you some context: > > Although I have some past experience with Orion (servlets, beans, jsp), I've > never used its Data Sources, so I know next to nothing about them.
