I am creating a Java Applet (running on Internet Explorer web browser) that can access a database located in a remote machine (server). The connection to the remote database is established using JDBC-ODBC bridge. However, I encounter java security problem that restricted me to access the database across the network. Is there anyway I can overcome this problem? Thanks for your help SSJ ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
