I found that the table listing after the link had same table name twice like
'owner.tablename' and 'tablename'.when i selected 'owner.tablename' it worked.
Also when i tried to configure the DSN i typed my 'username'..'server'
selected options and unchecked 'Include synonyms in SQL columns' it worked
for both 'owner.tablename' and 'tablename'.
Can i uncheck 'Include synonyms in SQL columns' , any suggestions on this...
