escape character for '\' in SQL server 2000

Hello Experts,

We have a SQL server which we have with the name 'SELDSQL533\PRD3', on another server i am trying to create a synonym for a particular database and table inside it. but i get a below error for '\'

Is there any escape character to be used to overcome this problem

CREATE SYNONYM Project

FOR SELDSQL533\PRD3.DMS_copy.project

--

Error: Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2

Incorrect syntax near '\'.

use the following query...

CREATE SYNONYM Project

FOR [SELDSQL533\PRD3].DMS_copy.dbo.project

|||

Use square brackets [ ] around any name that contains 'unacceptable' characters.

CREATE SYNONYM Project

FOR [SELDSQL533\PRD3].DMS_copy.project
