As I've said you can script from Query Analyzer as well.
And I am sorry, but I don't feel inclined to come with further
guesses without the error messages you are getting. Nor am I interested
in composing queries and then only hear "it wouldn't take them". I
understand that it may be difficult for you to bring the information
from one corner to another, but it is even more difficult for me
who don't even see the queries. And after all, copying an error message
from one corner of a room to another is not rocket science. Pen and
paper still works...

A linked server is a remote data source, which is accessed from SQL
Server in a distributed query. The linked server can be another SQL
Server, but can also be an Access database, Oracle database, Active
directory or anything else for which there is an ODBC driver or OLE DB
provider.
