I need to access some information from my Database in Progress, thru one VB.net application, however I can not install to much ODBC drivers. So I want to do it on a SQL SERVER using the linked server options.
Im using exec sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'LnkServer', @srvproduct = '', @provider = 'MSDASQL
but i get this error when I try to retrieve the information OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. [OLE/DB provider returned message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified] OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IDBInitialize::Initialize returned 0x80004005: ].
How i can create the linked server and how I can retrive the Information from that SERVER
