Here is an example about how to create a database connection to MS Access database. To allow the database access to be authenticated the security user account can be add from Tools->Security->User and Group Accounts.

On the example below we can either connect through the DSN created previously on the Windows system or we can create it in our program as the long URL below.


import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;

public class MSAccessConnect {
//
// If you want to use you ODBC DSN
//
//private static final String URL = "jdbc:odbc:TestDB";

private static final String USERNAME = "admin";
private static final String PASSWORD = "welcome";
private static final String DRIVER = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";

private static final String URL =
"jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=D:\\Database\\testdb.mdb;}";

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Connection connection = null;
try {
Class.forName(DRIVER);
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD);

//
// Do something with the connection here!
//
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
connection.close();
}
}
}
