Hi
I am writing a database app using Java and MySQL
I have downloaded the MySQL connector J files but cannot get Java to find
them.
I keep getting a driver not found error.
There is no info on the MySQL site to say how to fix the problem.
I am running the program on win XP SP2

Regards Brett

What you have to do is make sure the .jar file is in the CLASSPATH.

I know the jar file needs to go into the CLASSPATH but cant find where it
is.

When you download the driver, it comes in a .zip file. If you look in
the archive, you should find the .jar

Check your environment variables. Right click on "My Computer" and
choose "properties", then select the tab "Advanced" and click on the button
"Environment Variables".

You could just add to the java cmd

java -classpath ..\BlabBlaBlab\BlabBlaBlab.jar
