How to specify MS Access workgroup file in Sql Server linked server?

I haven't done this for a while, nor in recent versions of SQL server, but I seem to remember that when you add a link to a Jet database it provides the opportunity to define the workgroup, username and password. Certainly if you're using ODBC, that's part of the basic ODBC driver for Jet David W. Fenton David Fenton Associates.

Thanks! The problem was I used the JET OLEDB provider which doesn't have an option for workgroup. When I switched to the "Microsoft OLE DB provider for ODBC Drivers" I could specify an ODBC DSN and in the DSN I could specify the workgroup file.

Thanks a lot! – BTB Feb 20 '09 at 7:29.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
