MS says I need to pre-open the table using the same credentials for both DB's. I have tried this several ways, and am still unable to open the linked access DB. The error I get is that the DSN=xsellvehicles (this is the DSN that is used by Access to open the table that resides in SQLA) can't be used because the username or password doesn't work.
Any ideas? I need to keep the linked table, because I do a bunch of calcs in Access on the table before it goes to the web. |
Are you using at least Access 2000? If so try using .ADP instead of .MDB if possible. The only other way to solve this, is to send a valid username and password to the login every time the table is opened.
