Hi all,
I've just started using the SQL 2005 Query Designer.
Does anyone know if I can easily browse to a Linked server that exists in SQL or do I still have to add these linked tables a s derived tablesm like before using openquery?

If you can I would advise you learn to write SQL. You will have to some day and the less you get dependent on a query designer the sooner you will comfortable writing it.

Anyway - strictly on the question I have no clue as I don't use the designer. Can you just edit the SQL and put in the table name using four part identification (servername.dbname.schemaname.tablename)?
