Can't access linked server through Query Analyzer

Hi, i created a linked server and can see the tables shown in Enterprise Man
ager. When I log into Query Analyzer, I try to access the remote tables with
the 4 part naming convention and i get
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PGJE_06_sp.nodo_sp.bts.caso
Servidor: mensaje 208, nivel 16, estado 1, l_nea 1
El nombre de objeto 'nodo_sp.bts.caso' no es válido.
which means "Object name is invalid"
I've tried changing its case, login through windows authentication and sqlse
rver authentication, but I get the same problem.
I created a linked server "backwards", that is from server B to A, and it wo
rks fine. Other servers have a linked server to this same server B (PGJE_SP_
06) and they work fine.
Thanks for your helpIsrael,
1. Did you try selecting "Tools --> Query Analyzer" from the Enterprise Mana
ger -- this should open the QA connection with the same credentials with wh
ich the Enterprise Manager is running.
2. Did you confirm that your FROM clause does not have any typos? (e.g., Is
the linked server name correct? Did you check on your server "B" that "SELE
CT COUNT(*) FROM nodo_sp.bts.caso").
3. Did you try to use the OPENQUERY (LinkedServerName, 'Select count(*) from
Table') syntax?
4. Can you double check your linked server settings match the settings (e.g.
Provider) that you have on the servers which are able to execute the query
successfully.
Thanks,
Tea C.
