link server is giving error message 7399

  • I am trying to link my sql server to a mysql remote server,however when i try to pull up any tables i get the error message "7399 ole db provider 'Msdasql'reported an error.

    data source name not found,and no default driver found.

    I had it working with the same connection string in a previous link,so at this point i'm just frustrated.any suggestions would be helpful,thanx.

  • Take a look at this KB article:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306212

    Though the error that you are getting seems to indicate that the ODBC DSN connection itself is not working.  Did you create it as a SYSTEM DSN ?  If the DSN connects fine and if it is a system DSN, then take a look at the KB above and see if that helps.

  • thanks for the help, at this point i may just switch to writing a series of dts and active x scripts
