| On ServerB make a Linked Server for ServerAThen you can access TableA in DatabaseA as:SELECT * FROM ServerA.DatabaseA.dbo.TableAKristen |

| Doesn't the error message tell you exactly what to do? As did Kristen.Kristen:"On ServerB make a Linked Server for ServerA"Error Message:"Could not find server 'serverA' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers."- Jeffhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/JeffS |

| Thank you for your response:When I do:EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server='serverA'i got:User does not have permission to perform this action.I have read right to both database ( A and B). Do this mean I have to ask the DBA to give me some rights to run sp_addlinkedserver ?Thanks.JEff |

"Do this mean I have to ask the DBA to give me some rights to run sp_addlinkedserver"Yup, I expect you don't have permissions to create a linked server.Personally I don't think that:EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server='serverA' is "rich" enough - in terms of what I consider to be the minimum requirements of a linked server.Kristen |
