Error Connecting to Access DB

Question

I'm connecting to an MS access db using
String url = "jdbc:odbc:MS Access Database;DBQ=epistol-old.mdb";
try {
     connectiondb = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Now this works perfectly fine on most computers. But users who are running non-english versions of windows (german, spanish etc..) are reporting getting the "java.sql.SQL.Exception:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager) The source
name wasn't found and there was no default driver" error. The file is in the right place. I don't have any way to test this as I don't have access to a non-english system. Has anyone had a similar problem and know anything about this? or is there another way I can connect to a access db that won't have this problem?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Answer 1

I was reading up a little more on this and I thought that possibly they user doesn't have odbc installed on their system. Does any one know of a way I can tell them to check?
