If that doesn't work post a question with a link to this one on the Sybase and SQL forums.

Try something more like this....

Select table1.*, SybaseTable1.*
From Table1, SybaseTable1
Where table1.key = SybaseTable1.key

What this will do is similar to the InnerJoin but in a way that will allow non-connected databases communicate. It isn't as effecient but is really your only option in this case.
