If you have an ODBC driver for Lotus Notes, then yes. You can use DTS for this.

I'm having trouble connecting SQL Server 2000 to a Notes Domino server as a linked server.

I have created an ODBC entry that works with MS Access. I can browse the tables and pull data. When I create a Linked Server entry in SQL 2000 it freezes Enterprise Manager.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

SQL 2000 has SP3 installed and ODBC is using the latest NotesSQL driver (downloaded from IBM site yesterday).

I used this as a guide:
http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3462011

Here's the properties of the linked server:
My linked server properties are
Provider Name: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Product name: Tracking_System {copied from dsn name}
Data source: Tracking_System {copied from dsn name}
Provider String/Location/Catalog: {null}
Security Tab - use this security context: (Notes user ID - fully qualified)
and my password - the same info I used to create ODBC which worked.
Server Options: Data Access and Use Remote Collation are the only items
checked... timeouts are both zero
