Hi,

Have you checked the SoapUI Preferences?  There is a driver set-up tab....

Hello @Connectbobby1 

For some reason (maybe because there was an issue many years ago in SoapUI), I always put my jar files in "soapui_home/lib" with all the other jar files instead of the documented "soapui_home/bin/ext" folder.  You might try moving the driver there and see what happens after you do that and restart SoapUI.  Just grasping at straws here without a full research event. 🙂
