?You may need to setup a dsn on your own computer that points to the SQL
Server database. Be aware that if you are not the Administrator for this
database, you may not have the permissions needed to link a table from this
SQL Server to your mdb database. This is for good reason as this could give
you privileges that you are not authorized to have. I would contact the SQL
Server database administrator.
