Anyone out there know how to create a linked server to a remote CITADEL5 database from SQL Server? This is attempting to connect to a Lookout 6.6 server. I assume that this would be the same for Labview users too, that there should be a way to connect to a remote citadel 5 database. I have installed the Lookout 6.6 client on the SQL server attempting to make the connection and have successfully created and tested an ODBC system DSN, which is what I am trying to use for the connection.
I have a successful ODBC connection, but when I go to create a linked server I am getting the following:
TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio ------------------------------
The linked server has been created but failed a connection test. Do you want to keep the linked server?
