Hi,

Following your advice I have done the following..

Gone to the Runtime window and added the database driver, I even made
a connection from here successfully and I can see the tables.

But the following code:

Connection connection = null;

connection =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:firebirdsql://localhost:3050/C://MYDB.fdb",
"SYSDBA", "masterkey");

Still causes the same error

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for
jdbc:firebirdsql://localhost:3050/C://...

So Netbeans knows about the driver and I can connect to the datbase
from the runtime window but not from code. I copied the database URL
directly from the connection that works in the run time window
connection, so I'm guessing its a reference problem?

Thanks

Jinwah
