Occasionally using JDK1.1.5 and JDK1.1.6 (with -nojit)
and always JDK1.1.6 without -nojit I get that
exception in the following code:

    public boolean openDatabase(String database) {
        String url = "jdbc:odbc:" + database;
        try {
            con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "", "");
            stmt = con.createStatement();
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            System.err.println("Error opening ->" + url + "<-\n" + e);
            errorMessage = e.toString() + " opening " + url;
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

This code produces the following when database is
set to "Skelton"

Error opening ->jdbc:odbc:Skelton<-
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver

I get the error only when running my full application
which includes that code. When using a standalone, small
program I never have the problem.

I discovered by including:

    -Djdbc.drivers=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

on the command line (JDK1.1.6, haven't tried 1.1.5
yet), the problem disappears.
