| Gurus,While creating Linked server from SQl server to Ms access I am getting the following errorTITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio------------------------------"The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?"------------------------------ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)------------------------------Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "ACC".OLE DB provider "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" for linked server "ACC" returned message "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '\\xxxx\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxx\REM_Prod.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.". (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7303)But rem_prod.mdb is closed. I just created the Access database. There is no password and the shared directory is having full of read and write access. Can anyone suggest me where was the problem. or am i missing something..?ThanksKrishna |
