I have a Access Database with a whole series of MS SQL Server links. If I try to retrieve any data from these linked tables I get a SQL server fail message...I'm not what connection string I should use to get access to data via the links..I believe the problem is due to the fact it can't make a connection, because it is looking for the SQL user and password....I can use a SQL connection string to bypass the Access database but I would prefer to hook in via the linked tables in access..any ideas
