  • RE: LinkedServer - still mystified

    If they won't link back, then go with the parameter passing option in my last post. We can discuss that more if you need to. ...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

  • RE: how to write a function that executes Sub- Store procedure

  • RE: how to write a function that executes Sub- Store procedure

  • RE: LinkedServer - still mystified
