hi all, i have my MS sql server 2000 on the same computer as my java program. i am trying to connect the java program to the database and get the info. It works fine in a simple program but when i try to use applet i get this error, Error opening/loading com.microsoft.util.transliteration.properties. I think it might be some security problem with java or something. i was gonna post my code but it just runs in line..its hard to read it.
