Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider MSOLAP has been denied

Hi:

When I am trying to connect to OLAP I am getting this error...Ad hoc access to OLE DB provider MSOLAP has been denied.You must access this provider through a linked server.

I have configured the linked server.How do i fix this...?

Thanks,

Pramod

This is not an AS specific issue and out of my area of expertise, but it appears to be a security issue. Doing a quick search on the error message it appears by default that only SQL system admins are allowed to use OpenRowset/OpenDataSource queries. The information at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.oledbprovidersettings.disallowadhocaccess.aspx may be usefull in resolving this.
