Error with linked Servers

I am having an extremely difficult time getting a linked server to
work. I am attempting to link to using an ODBC driver to a proprietary
database. I can create the ODBC connection and see the tables from
with Access using this connection. I can set up the linked server but
as soon as I attempt to view the tables it either gives me an error
7399 or just sits there. Any help would be appreciative and if there
are any other questions I need to answer just let me know.
Thanks,
Matt
Can you elaborate on how are you connecting via Access and how are you using
to create the linked server?
