[tolisss]

Hi

i have created a new database and a new linked server that points to an
AccessDB using an ODBC DSN.
Now inside that new sql db i have create i need to created a new view so
i open EM went to views and paste the following

select * from openquery (AccessLinkedServer,'select * from mytable')

i press run and i see the data ok .but when i try to save the view i get
the following

ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The operation
could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' was unable
to begin a distributed transaction.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server][OLE/DB provider returned
message: [DataDirect][ODBC dBase driver]Optional feature not
implemented.]

Try creating the view from Query Analyzer. I seem to recall
that when you create a view from Enterprise Manager, it starts a
transaction. Later when you come to create the view itself, the OLE DB
provider cannot upgrade the transaction to a distributed one.
