First of all I'm new to SQL Server... With that said:

I'm having problems using a Linked Server.

I can add one and see the views and tables but the fields are not accesable to view or use.

Any suggestions ?

Thank You in advance.

Thank You, I will try this. Our remote server is provided by our webhosting co and it looks like they may have limited my access.

If anyone else has other options to explore I'd be more than interested in hearing them.

Thank again

Have you tried running a query in Query Analyzer:

SELECT * FROM LinkedServerName.DatabaseName.ObjectOwner.ObjectName

I finally got the tables to show and able to create a view with them.
I selected Other Source and filled out the data for Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL and it worked

NOW the problem is I'm unable to save the view (even though it executes within the Enterprise Manager Design View)
It states that there is an ODBC error....Operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

Now I really don't know where to go ?

(I'm sure this will get easier as I go, right ?)

Thanks
