Billy, Where is the source code you are trying to compile located? Is it same as where you keep your .jar file? If not, give java_home/jre/lib/ext path to javac as an -classpath option ... The drivers don't know where to find the databases.. Your program specifies them the server IP, username, password, etc. for connection.

I have added the file: mm.mysql-2.0.8-bin.jar to the directory: java_home/jre/lib/ext. The problem is when I run my class i get a class not found error even though the mm.mysql....bin.jar is in the lib/ext directory. What am i doing wrong? There are no spelling errors etc. Adding the jar to my classpath messes up running java at all. Please help. Also, how does the JDBC driver know where to find MySQL on my computer? _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
