ODBC Call fail - Strange behaviour

Hi.
I just installed Sql server (in fact MSDE) and exported my Access 2002
projet to this database instance.
I then linked my Sql server tables within my access project.
I get a strange behaviour for some queries. I receive the message 'ODBC -
Call fail'. It seems to be a timeout pb.
The query involves two tables.
I checked my query. Everithing is ok.
I checked the first table. I can read data and filter it.
I checked the second table. I can read data, but if I want to filter any
column, I get an ODBC call fail. The table contains only 802 records.
Any idea ?
Configuration :
MSDE Rel A on XP home SP1.
Access 2002 client, MDAC 2.8, on XP Pro.
Check your data on the SQL server. You may have some data that is null and
the SQL server table def is not allowing nulls? Just a thought. Usually
these errors are caught during the import process...
I would start by creating a brand new query and only add one column at a
time. See if you can then sort on that column. Carry on like this - adding
new columns each time until the error happens. Then check that columns data
on the SQL server so see if there happens to be null values present...
