vj#: Can someone on this forum tell me whether a COM DLL can be used in a Java
program? Or how would a Java program be brought into J#? I would prefer to
keep the main program platform-independent yet access a database whose
database is a COM DLL.

Sun was not very fond of that extra COM support. =:o)

Yes, it could. It depends on you code and the API version your using.

Please use a Java - COM bridge. ( If you go for the J# solution, you don't
need any bridge. )

btw, if the DB also has an ODBC interface you could try a JDBC-ODBC bridge
