Hi All,

I am having Windows 2000 server Operating Server and Microsoft SQL Server 2000. My Server/SQL server name is 'PlanDB'

When I tried to open the Build Query in the DTS Package, i m getting this error message "Server '' not found. Use sp_addlinkedserver to add server..". When i checked the sysservers table, there was no record for the local server. I don't know how did i lost the record for the local server in sysservers table. So, I added a local server using sp_addserver procedure. Now when i open the Build query window, I m getting this message "Server 'PlanDB' not configured for DATA ACCESS". I don't know how to configure the local server for Data access.
Please share you thoughts asap & help in solving this problem.

Thanks!

Ganesh S

Use sp_serveroption, it's documented in Books Online.

Thanks Rob! It worked! But is it the sp_serveroption should be used with Linked/Remote servers only (as it is mentioned in Books online? Anyway, its working for local servers also. Just want to know this!

Thanks

Yes, it works on local and remote/linked servers.
