    ok how about this: can you do this to the linked server? using the SELECT ...INTO feature, but make sure the where statement returns no rows, so it creates the table but does not populate it?:

     

    select actnbr,actname

    into newtable

    from gmact

    where 1=2

    select * from newtable

    actnbr             actname
