Then either you did not actually load the driver, or your URL is of the wrong format. The way JDBC works is that the driver registers its URL prefixes, and the DriverManager selects that driver based on those URLs (I believe the driver can still reject an URL if it is not wellformed for the driver).

So if you did not actually register the driver (Class.forName) or use the wrong URL, then it simply will not work.

Could it be a 64 bit Windows 2003? Because there it really matters if you are using the 64 bit java or 32 bit java, and if you created the DSN using 64 bit or 32 bit ODBC manager.
