Jet db as a Linked Server in SQL 2000

  • Hello,

    I would like to setup a MS Jet database as a Linked Server in SQL 2000. I tried using Add New under Linked Servers in the Enterprise manager I do it the same as if it were a SQL Server, choosing MS Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider. I was unable to get it to work. Has anyone had any luck with this?

    Best wishes,

    Barry O’Connell

  • I've had no past trouble accessing Access, Excel and Text files using that provider. Have you tried the example in BOL under "OLE DB Provider for Jet"?


    Cheers,
    - Mark

  • Make sure

    Access DB is not encrypted or secured

    The server has access to the file

    Change security to 'they will be mapped to' with a remote user of admin and no password.

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.
