Thanks Ade, I'm actually able to create the linked server okay, but I get this when I try to select anything from it. There's no password on the access db, so I'm not sure why it would fail authentication with nothing to authenticate.
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 OLE DB provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' reported an error. Authentication failed. [OLE/DB provider returned message: Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user.] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80040e4d: Authentication failed.]. > I might be mistaken, but I think someone I work with did > this a while back, > it's the evening here so I'll have to ask tomorrow.
