Hi,

I have the following statement on my SP giving a error when going a Parsing:-

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM TEMPDB.DBO.SYSOBJECTS WHERE ID = OBJECT_ID(N'TEMPDB.DBO.#T_ITEM') )
begin
select *
into #T_ITEM
from
OpenQuery( IRBID, 'SELECT * FROM ITEM ' )
end

the link server is not always available, the error i have is the following:-


Msg 7202, Level 11, State 2, Procedure MOHD, Line 54
Could not find server 'IRBID' in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers.

Best regards
