EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'AccessDb',
@useself = 'false',
@locallogin = NULL,
@rmtuser = 'SysUser',
@rmtpassword = '905555'
GO

this is my code but it's not working
the problem is my access database is access password protected so there is no username but just a password?
how do i set this up
i know in my odbc dsn to this access database I set it up as
dsn=DB2000;PWD=905555

I think the Access user is "Admin" in such circumstances.

Alternatively use OPENDATASOURCE or OPENROWSET which allow you to enter a "normal" connection string.
