Everytime I link to an ODBC source (which is Unix) I get.
ODBC -- call failed.
Error ID: 38 Severity: Error Facility: DBCAPERR - An invalid paramter
type has been specified.

I'm trying to create a query to the linked (Unix) table and specify it
retrieve all the records where

Date > DateValue(Now()) + 3. My guess is that the DateValue(Now())
built-in Access functions can't be read by Unix. When I import the
data, the query runs fine.
 
Your guess is correct. When you're running ODBC queries, you're very limited
in terms of what functions you can call.
