Hi Alberto, I know this is al old post but thing is you experienced the same issue I'm dealing with right now.
I just created the ODBC connection correctly but there is no way for me to successfully create the linked connection to that ODBC data source. I've tried several things but there is no way for me to get this working, I got same error like you, the #7399 one.
Please what did you meant with:
I have the connection tested and running, without errors: I had to force the authentication before actually creating it.
Looks like someway you forced the authentication for the ODBC datasource..how did you do that ?
Thanks in advance for any help
