remote system call?

Hi all,
I want to be able to have a stored procedure on server A to call a
stored procedure on Server B. I have my stored procedures in place. I have
used Linked servers on server A to define Server B so, that server A can
talk to server B. However I seem to have missed something. This is the
message that I get:
Could not find stored procedure 'sp_tt_load'.(42000,2812)
Procedure(sp_tt_dumpandload_for_standby).
sp_tt_dumpandload_for_standby (server A) does a database dump and then calls
sp_tt_load ( server B). Server B will load the dump onto it's standby
database.
TIA for all the help.

make sure you are using the full name to call the proc including the owner
name eg:
ServerB.databasename.dbo.sp_tt_load

Actually, I found the error in my linked server configuration.
I had defined it using 'other data source' of Microsoft OLE DB provider for
SQL Server.
I should have used 'SQL Server' and then name the server.
Once I changed this, then I was able to make the stored procedure call,
which looks like this:
exec SERVERB...sp_tt_db_load
