    Hi John,

    Can you try to create a linked server for the following method.

    1. Create a system dsn and configure to sql 2008 db from 2000 machine

    2. In 2000 Machine, you can create a new linked server

    3. General--> Select other datasources--> Microsoft OLEDB Provider for sqlserver

    4. Type the Dsn name in datasource field.

    5. Security-->select final option-- Be made using the security context

    give the appropriate remote user and remote password

    6. click ok

    7. Go to Sql 2000 machine and select * from sysservers

    find out the linked server name

    8. select * from linkedservername.databasename.dbo.tablename.

    Run the above query from 2000 machine.

    Already i confiured from 2000 machine to access to sql 2008 db. Its working.

    Thanks & Regards
