I have created an applet that communicates with a MS Access database (or at least, it should). It works fine when I run it through Dr Java or NetBeans, but when I embed the .class file in an html page and open the html page, it seems to run but none of the changes it is supposed to make to the database actually happen and it cannot retrieve data from the database either. What do I need to do?

Note: the html file, the class file, and the java source file are all on my computer, and in the same folder. The html file is not published or anything, I just created it myself to test the applet.

    (Comment by OP on the other thread.)

    Could you please explain how the applet can “phone home” to its own server?

    I suspect the basic problem with your current approach is that the JRE is getting confused as to whether the DB and applet are on the same ‘server’. The first thing to do is stop thinking about folders or directories (or their associated URLs), and do everything, including access the applet, via. your local server. So the URL to the applet should be something like..

    http://localhost:8080/the/applet.html

    Then make sure all calls to the DB are done through the server as well.
