Java - cannont connect database mdb

I'm using MS Access .mdb as my database. I don't really understand this code, I got copy of it from my lecture.

Years ago I used this code and it used to work, now I got an error and I don't know why. What's wrong?

public class Connect {
    public ResultSet rs;
    Connection con;
    java.sql.Statement st;
    ResultSetMetaData rsm;

public Connect(){
    try{
        Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=Db.mdb";
        con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"","");
        st = con.createStatement(1004,1008);
    } catch (Exception e){
    }
}
public ResultSet selectData(String query){
    ResultSet rset;
    try {
        rs = st.executeQuery(query);
        rsm = rs.getMetaData(); 
        if(rs.next()){
            return rs;
        }else{
            return null;
        }
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
  }

}

Im using a query in class Login

if(con.selectData("select * from MsUser where Username='"+textUsername.getText()+"' and Password='"+textPassword.getText()+"'")==null){
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Invalid username or password!", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

but it doesn't work.

Error:
