I am trying to build a single report that uses tables from two seperate db's. One is in sql server v. 6.5 and the other is in sql server 2000. I am trying to connect to both using odbc connections.


Currently I have been importing data from sql 6.5 to sql 2k and running the report off of sql 2k.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
 
You can do some simple reporting in this way, but I'd likely approach this with a stored procedure.

You can also link the tables into MS Access and build a query to report off of.
