Hi,

From my research, it appears that it is not possible to have a linked server
created in SQL Server 2005 x64 use a 32-bit DSN (i.e. created with a 32 bit
driver). The answer is that I need to create a 64-bit DSN in order to
create a linked server in SQL Server 2005 x64. The problem is that many
vendors (i.e. Sybase) do not have a 64-bit driver.

Looks like our migration is SQL Server 2005 x64 will have to wait unless we
can get this to work with perhaps a third party vendore such as Data Direct.
Any one using Data Direct to connect to Sybase from SQL Server 2005 x64?

Thanks,

Rocco M.
