OpenQuery

OPENQUERY will solve your problem. Examples:
--This will fail:
select * from server1.bb01_db.dbo.bb01 (nolock)
where process_dt = '2002-12-02' and mid = '03301001' and
tran_dt = '2002-12-02'
--This will work if you have your linked servers set up --
correctly:
select * from openquery(server1, 'select * from
bb01_db.dbo.bb01 (nolock)
where process_dt = ''2002-12-02'' and mid = ''03301001''
and tran_dt = ''2002-12-02''')
Ths will also work
exec server1.bb01_db.dbo.sp_executesql N'select * from bb01 (nolock)
where process_dt = ''2002-12-02'' and mid = ''03301001'' and
tran_dt =''2002-12-02'''
If those are datetimes then you should use yyyymmdd especially with remote
server calls just in case the dateformats are different.
