Host variables in JDBC

Question

Hi,
I am trying to write INSERT statements to an Access 97 table using JDBC. It works fine when the fields (mostly strings) to insert are directly given but when i try to use host variables it does not work.
I have seen it work with Oracle though. Does anybody know if this is possible with Access 97?
Thank you!

Thnaks for replying. I declared a string:
String na="seles";
and tried to pass na as a parameter in my insert statement. See code below:
import java.sql.*;
public class InsertRows {
public static void main(String args[]) {
String url = "jdbc:odbc:ds2";
Connection con;
Statement stmt;
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "davys", "password");
stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
String na="seles";
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO CONTACTS " + "VALUES (12, na, 'ny', 'tennis player')");
stmt.close();
con.close();
} catch(SQLException ex) {
System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
}
