Very Computer

Hello, I am tring to figure out why this is not working...I have created a
Linked server to a Paradox Database...I am able to query some of the tables
using:

select * from assist.[t:\]..custbill

but when I attempt it on other tables...ie

select * from assist.[t:]..nainvhdr

i get this error

Server: Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Could not obtain the schema rowset for OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL'. The
provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated
errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.]

...any ideas....my head is sore from pounding it on the desk!
thanks
