Hi Kevin It maybe permissions on other folders on that server. I would suspect that OLEDB needs to hold data in a temporary area, that temporary area may not be the same level of permissions on the box that is failing. Calling within linked server may change where that temporary area is located. Have you been able to link from that SQL Server to the other SQL Server?
