Alright nr, it just so happens we are attempting to add a linked server. Here's the scoop:

SERVER1 - SQLServer 7
SERVER2 - Access 2.0 Database on NT
SERVER3 - Access 2.0 Database on NT

When I run sp_addlinkedserver, it creates the server fine, but I cannot view any tables through the MMC. Here's the code within an ASP page which is executing the sproc on SERVER1:

dbConn.Execute "sp_addlinkedserver 'ITrack', 'Access', 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', '\\SERVER2\Track\itrack.mdb'"

When I go into MMC to look at the tables of the linked server, I get:

"Error 7303: Could not initialize data source object of OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0'"

And I have to say "huh???" to that little error message.

Any words of wisdom??

I am counting on you nr.
