Hi guys,

i'm trying to create a data source using Sql server (which is on a different server).

after creating a system DSN, test connnection works fine. but when i'm trying to access a table, it give me an error: "Your server does not have a sql connection option, please check with your system admin"..

Now, i have already checked my MSSQLSERVER service which shows "Started"..

i have tried the same thing on my PC where SQL server is on the same machine, i have created the DSN and it works fine... i'm doing the same for the servers but i get error...

Please HELP!!!

Thanx
