Running a system stored procedure

I write applications in VS.net that run against SQL Server 2000. I am
trying to write a stored procedure that accesses a database in different SQL
server than the one hosting the data. I entered into the FROM statement
"<OtherServerName>.<DatabaseName>.MyTable" and I get back a message that it
can't find the server "OtherServerName" and tells me to run the store
procedure "sp_addlinkedserver" to correct this. My question is:
Where do I find this sp? Do I run it from the VS.net environment, at the
console of one of the servers? What is the procedure to run it?
Any help is greatly apperceived.
Hi,
You have to create a linked server from local server when you want to access
a database resides in another SQL server. So you have to login into SQL
server
using Query Analyzer or Enterprise Manager and create a linked server.
See sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin in books online or use the
enterprise manager -- conenct to source sql server --
Expand the security -- select linked server and create a new connection to
new server.
Thanks
