linked server to jet database

Hi,
I have a problem using an jet database as a linked server.
when there is no database password on the mdb database everything is working
fine.
When I put a password an the mdb database I receive the error:
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked
server "ExpertM" reported an error. The provider did not give any information
about the error.Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot initialize the data
source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ExpertM".
The database password is correct because when I enter a fault password I
receive the expected error that the password is incorrect.
Any idea?
Thanks
Bart
Hello Bart,
I reproduce this issue.
My suggestion is that you could create a DSN for the access mdb database
and use the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for ODBC Drivers to link this DSN in
the SQL Server as a workaround.
Please let me know if this is OK for you.
