| Thank You, I will try this. Our remote server is provided by our webhosting co and it looks like they may have limited my access.If anyone else has other options to explore I'd be more than interested in hearing them.Thank again |

| I finally got the tables to show and able to create a view with them.I selected Other Source and filled out the data for Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL and it workedNOW the problem is I'm unable to save the view (even though it executes within the Enterprise Manager Design View)It states that there is an ODBC error....Operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.Now I really don't know where to go ?(I'm sure this will get easier as I go, right ?)Thanks |
