Error Comparing

Hi Shelby,
This sounds like the same linked server problem I brought up earlier in
the thread. You may be using the linked server without even knowing, because
when you use the option 'Advanced', the name of the linked server gets saved
in SQL Data Compare's Templates.xml file, which contains your data
comparision options. You might want to go into 'Advanced' and make sure that
box is blank even if you're using SQL Server authentication.
Sincerely,
Brian Donahue
