ClassNotFoundException

Hi all,
I am new to java. I have installed SQL Server JDBC Driver SP3 on my
computer.
When I run the statement Class.forName("..."); , I get the
ClassNotFoundException.
I have read the following article
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;313100.
And I am sure that I have my CLASSPATH variable is like the following:
CLASSPATH=.;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for
JDBC\lib\msbase.jar;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for
JDBC\lib\msutil.jar;c:\program files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for
JDBC\lib\mssqlserver.jar
But the exception still occurs. Even when I copied the 3 jar files into
c:\j2sdk\lib, it also didn't work.
Anyone can help me?
Thank you!
Hi Charlie,
Are you sure that the driver classes are accesible from your calling class,
ie, have you imported the driver package?
