i need to display the contents of a database(table) MS access db, on to the screen. how do i got abt it??? the data keeps changing dynamically...the program should be able to refresh it self
Create a JTable, create a custom TableModel for it, and have a Timer or whatever refresh that at regular intervals.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.
Tablemodel??? wat is that? do u have or know of any simple example that explains it?

Try to cut up your structure of your program in several little pieces and start with those one by one.
For example: You'll first need to make a connection to a database itself.
If your connection works, you can try to read out your data. (A datareader is recommended).
After this you can start building up your gui (there is quite a lot of documentation on this too, try the java swing components) and how you are going to refresh the data.
Baby steps, baby steps :p.
The making of a connection, reading it and the creation of the gui are well documented on the internet. I suggest that you try to make those step by step. If you have difficulties at any given moment with any given 'module', you can always ask for a specific problem.
I hope this helps a bit, good luck with your program.

Start with a simple tutorial on JTable: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...nts/table.html
(These examples that you keep asking for are incredibly easy to locate with a very simple search. You should take a little initiative to find them before asking others to give them to you.)
