I am having no trouble creating a system DSN to my Navision database. And can manually querry out records via Visual Studio Integration Services however when I try and use a linked server in SQL Server 2005 I get a fatal exception each time... any ideas?

    This is the error I am getting in SQL Server.

    Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
    The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "NAVISION" reported an error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure.
    Msg 7303, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
    Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "NAVISION".

    We are getting this exact error, but not consistent. Usually as a workaround we have to restart the SQL Server service and then all is fine again?

    What is causing this error?
    How can we solve it?

    The Navision version is a runtime upgrade to NAV 2009 with a NAV native database.
    The ODBC driver is Microsoft Dynamics Nav Driver 6.00.32012.00

    Would appreciate any help.
