I am trying to retrieve data from a seperate instance of SQL using

Select * From MyRemoteServer.DatabaseName.dbo.Sysobjects eg

Select * From RFF-03\KRONOS.tkcsdb.dbo.DG_DailyReports
 
My server name is RFF-03 and the instance is KRONOS and SQL doesn't like the '-'.  If I use the server number 174.173etc, then it doesn't like the '.'
Cry
Does anyone know how to do this?
