• - do you need to just copy the data once ?

    you could use bcp.exe to do that.

    - are you sure you really want to make both sqlserver instances dependent by using linked servers ??:sick:

    Are these just a couple of (little) tables you need to keep in sync for both instances ?

    Does that need to be real time synchronized ?
