Catastrophic failures with linked servers

(Config: SQLServer2005, MySQL5.0 and MySQL4.0 all running on
Windows2003 server)
I've created linked servers to my MySQL servers from SQL server, and
had no problem for several months. I was using the MySQL ODBC 3.51.12
Driver. I upgraded to the 3.51.14 driver and have started having
problems. Obviousyl the first thing I did was revert to the 3.51.12
driver, but things are still failing.

What happening is: my linked servers work intermittently now. There is
no rhyme or reason for it to stop working. Bet every time it fails, I
receive the following error:

Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "foo" reported an
error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure.
Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL"
for linked server "foo"

I tried doing an ODBC trace and it did not dump anything useful (I
guess I knew that it wouldn't since ODBC trace is not tied to the
OLEDB provider). I'm using the MSDASQL provider for the linked server,
since it's the only one that works with MySQL.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had any similar experiences, and
worked around it in any way. When I first got these errors I just
rebooted the SQL Server, and things worked fine for a while (a couple
of months). Now nothing seems to work.

Hi, I was thinking abt linked servers deals only with multiple servers physically inter-connected. Now i come accross that we can link our non-sqlserver databases also. It is thru the E.manager by Security->linked servers -> Other databases -> access(jet 7.0).mdb
