I tried it, but it had no effect.

Well, sure. The code I provided was just some stuff I hacked up
as a "proof of concept", to see if setting an isolation level would
allow a remote select within a transaction, without DTC. The "real"
code belongs to a programmer in a different department, and I haven't
even seen it. I can only assume that it's inconvenient (though perhaps
necessary) to restructure the code so that the remote selects are
outside of the transaction(s).

Thanks for the help.
