I have created a linked server to an AS400.
I now want to use tables within the linked AS400 on a select statement.

The syntax for a remote server is :-

SELECT * FROM MyLinkedServer...MyTable.

This is not accepted for an AS400 as the library name is required as well. I have tried all the permitations I can think off but none are accepted.

Anybody have any ideas?

Sorted it.

Just use OPENQUERY.
