We use a UNIX based claims system here and we were just provided with ODBC connectivity to that system that we're hoping to use on a web app we host for our network of doctors. It's a BASIS database and the OCBC connector is the BASIS ODBC for the Diamond System (for those familiar). We're trying to link to this using SQL Linked Servers but the ODBC will not appear in the SQL drop-down list of available providers in the link server dialog box. The tool is registered on the server as far as we can tell (and on my developer's machine). When we try to access the DB directly using ADO we get an error, "Unable to open socket connection". This leads me to believe the that it is indeed registered on one of the machines. It is possible to link the BASIS system to Access and we do have that connectivity in place on another application. SQL is required for our web app however. It would seem to me that this should be possible. Has anyone experienced anything similar with this or another not too common driver in SQL?
