Linked Server gives Internal SQL Server error

Hi All,

I am accessing a linked server (also a SQL Server) from a stored
procedure. There is an insert statement that I run on a table in the
linked server. This statement causes the Internal SQL Server error. But
if I run the insert statement separately from Query Analyzer, it works
fine! Also, I put the stored procedure directly into the database on
the linked SQL Server and it ran fine on it. Has anybody come across
something of this sort?

Thanks,

When you start procedure from query analyzer you do it as some user
but when this procedure is started by sql agent as job it is another
user which doesn't have an access to the database linked by linked
server, and this is the problem.

You can try to run this procedure from vbs for example with ado
connection the same as in query analyzer
