Environment: SQL Server 2008 Enterprise; Windows Server 2008

Client: Access 2007; User is db_owner of database

I have a user that is set to be db_owner of a database. When he tries to create a linked table in MS Access 2007 get gets a timeout error. Of course when I set him to sysadmin it will allow him to link to the tables. If I remove him as sysadmin he can still use the linked table without any issue.

@jcumberland had me ensure the the database is selected in the DSN it did not help.

UPDATE: We are using Windows Authentication in this scenario.

Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1132
