| Can anyone tell me if I can query another SQL server without having to run "EXEC sp_addlinkedserver"?In other words, can I use a 4 part name to qualify a server?i.e. Select * from server2.Dbase1.dbo.tbl1thanks... |

Yes, but you need to add and configure the linked server first, which means you need to run sp_addlinkedserver. |

| You can do an openrowset which includes all the info for the connection and so doesn't need anything set up.Look it up in bol.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
