I'm trying to create a linked server in MS SQL Server 2005, pointing to an Intersystem Cache database via ODBC.
Below is the query to create the linked server:
/****** Object: LinkedServer [CC7] Script Date: 02/22/2011 09:06:39 ******/
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'CC7', @srvproduct=N'MSDASQL', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc=N'CC7', @provstr=N'DRIVER={Intersystems ODBC};Server=CCMSSRVR;Port=1972;Database=CCMS_STAT', @catalog=N'CCMS_STAT'
/* For security reasons the linked server remote logins password is changed with ######## */
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'CC7',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=NULL,@rmtpassword=NULL
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'collation compatible', @optvalue=N'false'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'data access', @optvalue=N'true'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'dist', @optvalue=N'false'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'pub', @optvalue=N'false'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'rpc', @optvalue=N'false'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'rpc out', @optvalue=N'false'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'sub', @optvalue=N'false'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'connect timeout', @optvalue=N'0'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'collation name', @optvalue=null
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'lazy schema validation', @optvalue=N'false'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'query timeout', @optvalue=N'0'
GO
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'CC7', @optname=N'use remote collation', @optvalue=N'true'
I can query the database, for example as below:
SELECT * FROM CC7..dbo.iAgentByApplicationStat
This works fine.
The problem i'm having is when i try and browse the catalog through Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. Whenever i expand 'Catalogs' under the linked server i get the following error:

I've googled this for days to no avail, so any help no matter how small is very much appreciated.
