Hi i took a introductory course in java and ive been programming ever
since. Ive been trying to create a database prgm for my company, and i
heard that access was going to be the simplest and most accesable way
to do it. Ive been trying to connect the java to the access database
that i created but i keep getting an error.
Can anyone check my code and see if i did something wrong, or perhaps
give me some insight on where i may be going wrong.
Here is the code:

private Connection conn01 = null;
public void connect(){

        try {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        String databaseName = "invent";
       String url          = "jdbc:odbc:" + databaseName;
       String loginName    = "Admin";
       String password     = "lace";

       try {
            conn01 = DriverManager.getConnection(url, loginName, password);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

AND IM RECEIVING THIS ERROR

any form of help is greatly appreciated.
I'm sitting in my office with writers block.
Thank you
