I'm running the following select statement on one server and pulling the information from a second server. SELECT CustomerName from [SQL-STL].FSDBPE.dbo.FS_Customer Results: Server: Msg 8180, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Statement(s) could not be prepared. Server: Msg 446, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot resolve collation conflict for replace operation. The odd thing is I can run the following select statement without errors. SELECT * from [SQL-STL].FSDBPE.dbo.FS_Customer Result: returns all fields including CustomerName Thanks for your help!
