	There are a whole pot of reasons. 

	First are you using java 1.1 or above. 

	Second are you using Suns implementation of 1.1 or above. The
jdbc-odbc class is not part of the java platform but a free add on
that Sun distribute. 

	Third you are on windows are you not? The obdc link can only
work on a system with an odbc driver which means windows. 

	Fourth have you got ODBC installed. Its not windows standard 
(although its pretty hard not to get in on most windows machines). It
probably shouldnt give a "ClassNotFoundException" if it isnt, but Ive
never tried it withough.

	After those the problems get a little bit more serious
and difficult to work out. But more info is needed. Id suggest that
you forward all the details you have (jdk version, OS). If you want
help dont leave us guessing...
