Use SELECT...INTO... Check BOL for more details.

BOL is Books On Line. It is the reference that comes on the SQL Server CD. When you install the server or client components, it gives you the option to install it.

It is a surprisingly complete reference for SQL Server and it is well worth your time to install it and become familiar with it.

If the tables already exist, then use INSERT...SELECT so it would look something like

INSERT INTO TableB (col2)
SELECT col1 FROM TableA

If you want to create a new table then something like

SELECT col1 FROM TableA INTO TableB

And REALLY, start exploring Books On Line, it is VERY handy.
