Question

Hello;
I failed to connect with my database, it give me the massage as following;
Cannot load the SQL driver. Include it in your classpath
Could anyone tell me why? Thanks
And i am using the Microsoft SQL server 2000, Java 2 runtime enviroment and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver now.
In the user varible, i set a path for the java run time as "c:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\javaws"
and "CLASSPATH =.;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver\sqljdbc_1.1\enu\sqljdbc.jar" for the JDBC Driver.
and my code as following;
public MyTest()
        //information of our connection
        //the url of the database: protocol:subprotocol:subname:computer_name:port:database_name
         String strUrl      = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;user=xx;password=xxxx";
        //user name and password
         String strUser      = "xx";
         String strPass      = "xxx";
        //try to load the driver
        try {
            Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
        catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            System.out.println( "Cannot load the SQL driver. Include it in your classpath.");
            System.exit( -1);
        //a null reference to a Connection object
        c = null;
        try {
            //open a connection to the database
           c = DriverManager.getConnection( strUrl, strUser, strPass);
        catch (SQLException e) {
            System.out.println("Cannot connect to the database. Here is the error:");
            e.printStackTrace();
            System.exit( -1);
       //create a statement object to execute sql statements
       displayInformation();  
    }

It is so sensitive with small details, i think.Nope. If you giveit the right path, it'll find it.
till has the same problem, even i used the temp folder.
-classpath= . ; "C:\temp\sqljdbc.jar"Why don't you do yourself a favor and just put that JAR right in the directory where your .java and .class files live? No path, just this:
java -classpath = .;sqljdbc.jar YourClass
"CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server
2005 JDBC Driver\sqljdbc_1.1\enu\sqljdbc.jar"This ain't right, either. You don't put quotes around anything other than the path entry.
and i could not delete it from system variable
section now, do you think it cause problem?I don't know why you can't delete it. I don't think you should have to muck around with environment variables at all.
