I tried to creating a UDL file and I get this error..
Test connection failed becasue of an error in setting the window handle property.
I tried reinstalling Driver .. no luck.
Ensured that allow in process was checked in provider properties.
Also checked SAC manager to ensure "allow to" and "allow from" link was set to true on source server.
Oh ya... I was aslo able to create a test UDL on my XP workstation with no problem..
Any help much appreciated.
