jet writes "hi. i have an application which needs to access a text file regularly on a different pc(say pc_remote). i tried linking pc_remote via the Linked Servers but sql server(which is installed in pc_local) couldn't see the file. however when i transferred the text file to pc_local, sql server successfully accessed it.

the schema.ini file is located in the same directory as the text file. i used the ff linked server configuration:

Provider Name: Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
Data Source: \\pc_remote\ewsd
Provider String: text


i am using windows nt server 4.0, windows nt workstation 4.0 and
sql server7."
