  Hello All,

  I am attempting to copy records from a table on a local server (SQL Server 2008 Express instance running on my laptop) to a network SQL Server (2000). The network server is setup as a "linked Server" in the local instance.

  Running the following query, yields the following error:

  USE NJREPORT

  GO

  SELECT *

  INTO NJLAW01DBA01.NJMIVIS

  FROM NJAS

  ---------------------------------------

  Msg 2760, Level 16, State 1, Line 2

  The specified schema name "NJLAW01DBA01" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.

  NJLAW01DBA01 is the linked server

  NJAS is a table in my local instance

  I hope I have provided enough information. I apprectiate any assistance you might offer.

  Keith

  You have to provide more than just the linkserver.

  linkserver.database.schema.table

  does that help?
