      I'm ignorant about JDBC and sql(to a less extent). In theory, I'd love to
      have a java applet connect to a server which has a database in "MS ACCESS
      format".


      1. Is this possible, or if I'm to use ODBC do I need to have my database on
      a sql server in some other format.
      2. If it is possible, any books you would recommend on ODBC, JDBC, and RMI?


      thanks

      Yes, connecting to an MS Access database is possible....I would highly recommend you check out this page
      http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/index.html for general jdbc information, and
      http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/jdbc.drivers.html

      Jdbc drivers are available on this site - you will probably need to use a type 1 (JDBC-ODBC Bridge) but I did notice
      a type 3 driver listed for Symantec. Good luck! ew
