OK, I figured it out.  The error wasn't with the way I was
calling the jdbc driver as I had  suspected but with the way I was
specifiying the connection url.  D'oh...  OK, I feel stupid now.  If
it's any defense the example programs I downloaded from the net were
wrong too... ;-)
        Btw, I tried removing the .newInstance() from the end of the
Class.forName("blah") call and it still worked, another thing I was doing
different than your code.  Maybe Class.forName() instantiates a new object
from the called class automagically?  *shrug*
        Thank you very much for your help!

        Mike
