    Linked sql view changing datatype

    I have an A2k mdb that uses a linked SQL 2k view. In SQL Server, the
    underlying table uses datatype 'nvarchar'. When I try to view the data in
    Access (SQL server works fine for the view), I get:

    ODBC--call failed.
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast
    specification (#0)

    If I use design view to look at the linked view, I see that the 'nvarchar'
    columns are now 'number'. I have deleted and re-linked the tables in
    question and still get the error. There is alpha-numeric text in these
    fields and am having a difficult time understanding the problem, let alone
    using the table.


    Thanks,
