Could be the "sandbox" that the applet runs in that controls access to the PC environment.

If you Google on "applet" and "sandbox" you'll find many articles explaining how it works and how to work around it.

We use applet signing for one of our applets we deploy. You get a confirmation window that confirms you want to allow the applet to download and run with access. From then on, you don't need to bother with the confirmation. A signed applet then has more access to local client resources.

Perhaps that might be a solution IF your problem is due to the "sandbox".

LOL! I think you know much more than I - there is a sneaking suspicion in the back of my mind I am trying to do something silly, since there doesn't seem to be examples of it around. :) The applet class comes up and initializes fine - the only error I can detect is that after I do a SETATR on the ODBC part on it's creation event, I come back and check the CONNECTED attribute, and find it is not connected. When run from Windows, it connects just fine and works as expected. This is probably something pretty basic to the idea of using Java Applets that I am misunderstanding. Perhaps the idea of having an applet that remotely connects to the database is a bad idea in the first place? It seems like such an easy answer to a simple low volume problem...
