I have set up a linked server within enterprise manager. When I try to run the statement below in SQL Query Analyzer I recieve an error:<br />
select * from OPENQUERY(66.240.29.197,'s<wbr />elect * from XMCTStatus.dbo.tblTZ')<br />
Error: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '64.240'.<br />
<br />
Can I run this against a server defined with an IP?
