SQL SERVER 2005 LINKED SERVERS

I want to link a password protected Microsoft Access 97 Database to SQL Server 2005 as a linked server so that all of the mdb tables will be available through the sql server engine as if that database was a database inside of sql server.

Can i do this?

 if so can you give me a step by step

Thanks in advance.
