Solution 1

With a linked server all you need to do is use the fully qualified table name to access it:

Server(or ip address in square brackets).database.owner(most commonly dbo).table

This will access the table as if it was on the same server.

Solution 2

Your question isn't very clear but if you have defined a linked server then you can use it in the sql statements like:

SELECT ... FROM linkedservername.databasename.objectownername.tablename...
