I'm not sure how to set-up ODBC connection to MSSQL 2005 ent. to show linked

So you're saying you can link to normal SQL tables from Access, but
you can't see the linked SQL tables in the same database? I don't
understand. Maybe someone else can clarify why this wouldn't work.

Another approach is to build SQL views on the remote DB2 tables and
link to those from Access instead...
