I'd like to set up an ODBC DSN to a table in a linked SQL Server, via
my local SQL Server.

I'm having a few problems:
1. When I use Enterprise Manager to link the remote SQL Server, it
doesn't allow me to select the database in the remote server. It only
shows one database.

2. When I use the Data Sources program to set up the ODBC DSN, it only
shows databases in the local SQL Server, not in the linked one. If I
try typing it in: [NAMEOFLINKEDSERVER].databasename - it tells me that
it is an invalid table.
