Linking a pervasive server to MS SQL server

Question

I have a Pervasive SQL server that hosts our accounting software and I want to link it to a SQL server so that I can use SQL to generate some reports and pull some data
without taxing the pervasive server any more than it already is.  So far I have been able to get the server to link and connect and I can see the tables and databases on the pervasive server but I am unable to select anything from the linked server.  I
have a linked server set to access the demodata database that pervasive sets up automatically to test and it is named pvswdemodata and when I execute this command I get two errors.  The query I am trying to run is  
select * from pvswdemodata.demodata..course
The errors I am getting are  
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "pvswdemodata" reported an error.
The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid use of schema or catalog for OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "pvswdemodata".
A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog or schema.
Any help would be really appreciated.  Oh and I am running
MS SQL Express 2012 on a Win 8.1 machine connecting to a Pervasive v11 server running win server 2008 R2 both are 64-bit (os and SQL/Pervasive with a 64-bit ODBC driver)

Hello,
Please try the following code:
DECLARE
@QUERY nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE
@TSQL nvarchar(4000)
SET
@TSQL =
'select * from demodata..course'
SET
@QUERY =
'SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(pvswdemodata, @TSQL)'
EXEC
sp_executesql @QUERY
Hope this helps.
