link to MS SQL Server 2005

[Charles MacLean]

I'm trying to link an Access 2003 project to a SQL 2005 database on a
network server. Everything seems to go okay until I select ODBC as the type
of source I want to link to and them nothing happens. If I select any of
the other types of files such as Excel I get the appriiate dialog box. What
is going on??? I'm running VISTA 64 Bit on the wokstation and Windows 2003
Server on the database server.

Thanks,
Charles M.

Hi
I had the same problem - felt a bit dishearted when I saw there was no
response on your question. But - I found the solution!

Van T. Dinh (MVP (Access) wrote in one of the other groups:
"If you use Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the Office Plug-in. You'll find
the Office Plug-in under 'Miscellaneous' in the Norton AntiVirus options."

I did this - and Whalah - fixed!
