linked server question

Hi,
I have a linked server connection from SQL SERVER 2000 to Sybase
11.9.2 and can see all the tables and views in sybase database. But,
when I try to access a table from MSSQL SQL query analyser it is not
able to access one single table and gives the following error....
I am a newbie in SQL2000. Please help.
Server: Msg 7356, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' supplied inconsistent metadata for a column.
Metadata information was changed at execution time.

Regards

I don't know what's causing the error, but I would check that you have
the latest servicepacks and ODBC/MDAC versions.
