Problem loading JDBC-ODBC driver

I get an error trying to load the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver using an applet:

Error: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied(
java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.jdbc.odbc)access denied(java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.jdbc.odbc)

This problem doesn't happen when it's done on a regular java application, but when I converted the program to an applet, it gives me this error. I know using applets gives it some type of restriction, but I plan to use it on an intranet so I need to know if there is some way of allowing this.
