    I am executing a query from an MSDE on a laptop. The query involves a linked SQL Server.
    I get the error message: "Distributed transactions could not be started."

    Check whether MSDTC has been started or not on both the machines.

    I am trying to run a transaction in an SP residing on MSDE. The SP makes an insert statement on the remote linked SQL Server.
    I get the following error message :

    The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB
    provider 'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed
    transaction.
    [OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot
    enlist in the specified transaction coordinator. ]
    OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'
    ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].

    MSDTC is running on both servers ...

    please advice me.
