Does anyone know how to create a CodeCharge database connection to a "linked server" that's in MS SQL Server 2005?
Thanks!

can you define an ODBC datasource that connects successfully? CCS should be able to use that.

Just FYI.... I was able to setup a DSN to an Access Database that had a linked table to the MAS 90 database using the MAS 90 ODBC driver.
The problem then was that it was just too slow for Codecharge to use it... unless I did simple one off queries of specific things. Returning a whole recordset of several thousand records was just too slow to be useful.
So I went with another option.... currently this is what I am doing.
I have schedule task that runs an Access database every 10 minutes.
Using a Macro, the Access database queries the MAS 90 database with MakeTable Query creating Access tables of the MAS data I need to get to.
It then exports that Data directly to the MySQL database where all the rest of my data is.
Since I had to destroy and export the tables each time... I opted to create two sets of tables in MySQL... a "live" one and the one that gets destroyed and created every 10 minutes...
Then I just send a command to MySQL to update the records of the "Live" table with the data from the temporary table.
Now I can develop my Application using only one Data Source (MySQL)... which is so much easier and faster.
I hope this post helps someone one day. :)
