When I use the following sql statement to access a linked server I get the following message:

select *
from [servername].msdb.dbo.sysdtspackages

Server 'servername' is not configured for DATA ACCESS

Any help would be most appreciated.

use sp_serveroption to allow data access

sp_serveroption 'servername','data access','TRUE'
