how to connect coldfusion and access?

I assume you are trying to browse the server for the database file. Since the page uses a Java applet for this, you need support for that. Make sure that JRE has been properly installed as well as the browser plugins as mentioned in error message.

Alternatively, instead of browsing for the db file, just manually type in the path to the file and it should work.

Your browser is not configured correctly to use java applets. Please install the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and be sure to install the browser plugins.

Welcome to the site and thanks for the info.

I think, though, that the OP was having problems with the file-tree applet which displays the files and directories.
