MS Access Database on Runtime (Tables on Sharepoint)

Question

Using: Office 365
MS Access tables are on my Share Point Site as lists.
The database on my local pc has linked tables to the Share Point lists, which works fantastic.  I have a need to place the database on a pc that does not have any office software installed, so I loaded Access Runtime on that pc.  Pulls up the database,
but, it the tables will not link to Share Point.  No error messages, cursor just spins, nothing happens.

Actually I'm already using JDBC-ODBC driver. The problem is it still doesn't connect. Sorry I should have mentioned this above.
String dbDriver = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
String dbLocation = "//host/directory/database.mdb";
String dbURL = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" + dbLocation;
String dbUserName = "Name";
String dbPassword = "Pass";
public boolean connectToDatabase () {
  // Microsoft Access Database SQL Connection.
  try {
    Class.forName(dbDriver);
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL);
  } catch (Exception e) {
      return false;
  return true;
}If I run my applet local, I can connect to my Access DB (Using a location similar to 'C:\Path\myDB.mdb'). When I put it on my web host, it can't connect to it. DriverManager tries to connect but fails after about half a minute of inactivity. The error message is:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
And so I need to know any Java equivalent that doesn't require 'HttpServlet' 'getRealPath(...)' and get's me the server path to my DB or another way to connect to it alltogether.
