select
syscolumns.name as [Column],
syscolumns.xusertype as [Type],
sysobjects.xtype as [Objtype]
from
sysobjects, syscolumns
where sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id
and sysobjects.xtype = 'u'
and sysobjects.name = 'tblAssociation'
order by syscolumns.name

SELECT   sysobjects.name   AS table_name ,
         syscolumns.name   AS column_name,
         systypes.name     AS datatype   ,
         syscolumns.LENGTH AS LENGTH
FROM     sysobjects
         INNER JOIN syscolumns
         ON       sysobjects.id = syscolumns.id
         INNER JOIN systypes
         ON       syscolumns.xtype = systypes.xtype
