Nicky, Thanks. I tried this select ProductType='HARDWARE' into SW_License from PL_MR_LineItems where MRNumber = 'TM0000099'
and got "1 row affected". I am not a dba so I am winging this. I don't fully understand what this statement means. ProductType='HARDWARE' is the column and data in my ARS Form. SW_License is the name of the linked db as it appears on the SQL Server supporting the ARSystem db. PL_MR_Lineitems is the ARS form MRNumber = 'TM0000099' is also from the ARS Form. Did I get things in the right order? Because if I run it again I get an error. There is already an object named 'SW_License' in the database. Thanks, --- John J.

Now that the Remedy ARS db is on a new box and a newer version of MS SQL I can not longer push the data. The SQL statement is Insert INTO SW_License.License_Management_Test.dbo.ARS_View1 (MR_Date, EDD) VALUES ( '1/7/2009 12:00:00 AM', '2/19/2009 12:00:00 AM') I get the following message in the arsql.log file. * WARNING * The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SW_License" was unable to begin a distributed transaction. (SQL Server 7391)OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SW_License" returned message "No transaction It gets truncated in the log so I don't know what the returned message is indicating. the ARS_View1 is a view that was created on the remote DB that converts date values to integers so we can display dates in ARSystem using a view form. I am wondering if that is causing a problem when pushing the values back to the remote view. If I am missing some information needed to understand this question please feel free to ping me.
