Help

I am trying to access a mysql database from within a Java program running in MS Visual J++

... I do not get past the first step

I have downloaded...

mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga-bin.jar

and installed this in the classpath of the J++ project.

but when i call...

try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
}
catch (Exception ex) {
MessageBox.show("bugger it");
}

J++ crashes with "ClassDefNotFoundError"

I have checked numerous examples in the internet they all do what I am doing.

My only clue is that MSDN say somethin about this could happen if the "digital signature" is not correct. This is running in work and we have pretty tight security setup

Cheers
JEff
