Hi All,

The following query returns below listed error message:

select CASE WHEN LTRIm(RTRIM(LEN(cUPCNo))) = 5 THEN '0'+ LTRIM(RTRIm(cUPCNo)) ELSE LTRIM(RTRIm(cUPCNo)) END as cUPCNo, 
		cSKUId, iForecastQty, cEDPNo, cMacsDescript, 
		cECometryVendorNo, cPVB, cProductTypeId, iWarehouseLocId, 
		cProductFamilyId, nCaseQty,
		CASE WHEN lBuyInCase = 1 THEN 'YES' ELSE 'NO' END as lBuyInCase
	from [BIZTALK\PRODUCTION1].MerchNew.dbo.m_newItem
	where lSlottingUpload = 1
	And dSlottingUpload = '2009-06-17 13:35:15.000'
	And cEDPNo not in (select distinct EDP from  [AMSWHSERVER3\AMS].slotting.dbo.productinfo)


OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "AMSWHSERVER3\AMS" returned message "Cannot create new connection because in manual or distributed transaction mode.".
Msg 7320, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot execute the query "SELECT TOP 1 1 FROM "slotting"."dbo"."productinfo" "Tbl1005"" against OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "AMSWHSERVER3\AMS". 

BIZTALK\PRODUCTION1 = SQL Server 2005
AMSWHSERVER3\AMS = SQL Server 2000

Any idea why?

TIA,
Daniel
