Hi,

use the jtds driver. visit the jtds site. microsoft's driver for sqlserver is little buggy.... so i recommend using jtds driver. place it in your Java installation directory (Java>jdk1._>jr e>lib>ext) folder then visit connection strings.com for the right connection string. This driver supports both SqlServer 2000 and 2005. to top it all up, it uses same connection string. Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Jeff
