  I am sure this is an easy one, but I Cannot figure out how to connect to an ODBC data source in SQL Server Management Studio. Its a Progress database and it is set up as a system data source, but i cannot find the right menu item or icon to access it.

  I believe you can create the linked server using system dsn created by ODBC datasource.
