I am getting time-out errors when I try to perform a simple delete on a
linked server. The command is:

Delete From MyTable Where PKID=12345

I have tried executing this command directly from Query Analyzer, but it
just times out. However, when I run it from QA against the server itself
(rather than from my local server against a linked server), it executes
immediately. Similarly, if I run the same SQL command through an ODBC linked
table in an Access 2000 MDB file (tweaking the syntax slightly), it also
executes immediately. Only if I run it from SQL 7 as a stored procedure or a
QA command against a linked server does it time-out.

I have no problems inserting rows using any of the three methods noted
above. It is only with deleting rows through the linked server that it times
out.

Thanks for any assistance.
