Hello,
I have configured linked server on my SQL server (server1) to access data from a remote SQL server(server2). Both are SQL Server 2000. The linked server was setup without errors. I have checked the privileges on the objects being accessed and everything is fine.. Now when I try to access data from a table (table2 on database db2) in server2 such as

select * from server2.db2.dbo.table2

I get the following error..
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance
P.C. Vaidyanathan

Had you mapped the logins between the two servers?

May you see the tables in the Enterprise Manager?
