The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Connecting to Simply from SQL 2005

Zones: Simply Accounting Software, Microsoft Access Database, SQL Server 2005

Tags: Sage, Simply Accounting, 2006 Pro, ODBC

I can successfully connect Excel 2003 to a Simply Accounting 2006 Pro database and query all the tables.
But I can't seem to make anything else connect to it.
Specifically I'm trying to set it as a linked server in MS SQL Server 2005.

I understand that despite the data files having extensions of .sdb and .sdw, they are in fact Access databases (.mdb and .mdw).
Access 2003 says I don't have permission to use them.
From SQL I've tried connecting via the OLEDB for ODBC driver as well as the Jet 4.0 driver.
I get a variety of error messages.

I also created a .udl file which when hitting the Test Connection button seems OK, but I just can't seem to get the settings in the SQL Linked Server dialog correct.
