View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

In Microsoft SQL Server 2000, you run a query against a local view that is referencing a remote view through a Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server linked server. When this query returns a text field, an ntext field, or an image field, the query may fail. You may receive an error message that is similar to the following error message:
Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Protocol error in TDS stream]
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Protocol error in TDS stream]
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Protocol error in TDS stream]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB' IRowset::GetNextRows returned 0x80004005: ].

Cause

This problem occurs because the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server becomes out of sync when it fetches a non-text-pointer column as a text-pointer-only column. When this behavior occurs, the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server displays the following error message:
Protocol error in TDS stream
