Error security level explanation please.

Hi
Why would this error stop the execution of my Stored procedure.
Server: Msg 8501, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]MSDTC on server 'Server1' is
unavailable.
I thought that only errors with level 20 to 25 did that.

kinds of things, but Erland Sommerskog's articles that the previous
respondent points to is the best information available anywhere on the
subject. (Thanks Erland.)
