Answer 1

Creator might not support MS Access yet but use this code for an access database connection will always work even through notepad or textpad:
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.Properties;

public class MyDataSource {
private static MyDataSource ds = null;
private static java.sql.Connection connection = null;
/** Creates a new singleton instance of MyDataSource */
private MyDataSource() {
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:<db name>", "guest", "guest");
}catch(ClassNotFoundException cnf){
cnf.printStackTrace();
}catch(java.sql.SQLException sqle){
sqle.printStackTrace();
public static DataSource getInstance() {
if(ds == null)
ds = new DataSource();
return ds;
public java.sql.Connection getConnection() {
return this.connection;
public static void closeConnection() {
     try{
          connection.close();
     }catch(java.sql.SQLException sqle){
          sqle.printStackTrace();
plus set up the ODBC connection via click start , click run and then copy and paste the following "odbcad32.exe" without the quotes, click ok, click user DSN tab, click Add...button select Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) click finish, give <db name> name of ur access database, give any description <whatever> or leave blank click the select... button navigate to the access database u want to connect to in your java code and select it.
in calling program
public class CustomersImplimentation {
private static java.sql.Connection connection = null;
private java.sql.ResultSet rs = null;
public CustomersImplimentation(){
connection = MyDataSource.getInstance().getConnection();
public Customers[] findAll(){
java.util.ArrayList list = new java.util.ArrayList();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS";
try{
java.sql.Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
list.add(new Customers(rs.getInt(1), rs.getString(2), rs.getString(3)));
}catch(java.sql.SQLException sqle) {
System.out.println((new StringBuilder()).append(
"SQLException :: executeQuery Cannot find all Customers:").append(sqle).toString());
Customers[] customers = new Customers[list.size()];
for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++){
customers[i] = (Customers)list.get(i);
return customers;
if you have a Customers class created with set and get methods and a constructor that takes an int string string i.e.
public Customers(int ID, String firstName, String lastName){}
then u should be able to run these classes from within creator with an access database. hope this helps?
