I have SQL Server 2000 running on Windows 2000 machine
which is configured to be a part of Novell network (IPX).
I need to add a linked server for .dbf files. So, I create
a system DSN, pointing to local catalog with .dbf files,
using dBASE driver. Then I create a linked server and set
it's provider to OLEDB for ODBC and driver to my system
DSN, I just made. Then I open tables node of my linked
server and see there tables (actually .dbf files). The
problem is- if I point my system DSN to a network catalog,
not local, then I can also create linked server on that
DSN and expand it's tables node with no error messages,
but it's empty- I don't see any tables there!
