The Microsoft OLE DB Provider is an SQL tool that enables developers to write code that provides an application with ADO access to an SQL database.

Microsoft said that future SQL Server APIs will phase out of OLE DB and back to supporting the Open Database Connectivity protocol.

I seem not to be able to connect to that datasource in any way from SQL 2000.<BR><BR>Anyone have any ideas about this? Should we look into purchasing an OLE DB driver from a company like Attunity?
