Dave,
You might have already checked this, but:
Is the DB driver class that you are trying to use a part of the zip file?
[You can use WinZip to see the contents of the zip file to see if it indeed
contains the class file in directory structure that corresponds to the
package qualified name that you are using].
secondly do you get any errors in the catch clause of
try {
Class.forName ("_drive_class");
}
