In the BDE configuration utility, you can specify whether the default query mode is SERVER or blank. When you leave the SQL QUERY MODE case blank, the link of SQL will determine which is faster, a local query or a remote query and execute the request accordingly. The situation for SQL QUERY MODE is in the Aliases button in the DBOPEN set of parameters.

If you are attached to InterBase, the remote query you are trying to run must be SQL compliant in order for the query to run remotely. Another you should look out for remote tables that have names in reserved words. This will also root and request to run locally, even however the SQL button gives an SQL translation of the QBE query.
