Author Cannot find LINKED server
D DeBow

2002-11-20, 5:23 pm

Having trouble creating a view that pulls data from a
different server on my network. I have set up the server
I am trying to pull from as a LINKED server. When
creating the view using Enterprise Manager I get an error:

Query Designer encountered a MS Design Tools error:
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]
Could not find server '"MCS-INFOMIN"' in sysservers.
Execute sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sysservers.

When I enter through that error it is followed by:

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]login
failed for user ''

When I try to add linked server it states that the server
already exists (confirmed with sp_linkedservers).

I am able to pull the data using the same SQL Statment in
Query Analyzer. Only seems to be a problem when creating
a view. Any suggestions?

Create the view using the CREATE VIEW command in Query Analyzer.
