Help is MUCH appreciated.
Two bits to this answer: 1. Tomcat itself ignores CLASSPATH. Put the MM.MySQL .jar file in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. 2. If MM.MySQL is installed in c:mm_mysql, then _that_ path needs to be in your CLASSPATH, the fully qualified path to the Driver.class file is c:/mm_mysql/org/gjt/mm/mysql/Driver.class, so the argument to Class.forName() in your servlet is "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" HTH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
