| The error won't be coming from this statement but as soon as the statement completes the temp table will be dropped as the statement is run as a separate batch. Therefore the temp table will not be accessible by future statements.You can do this using openquery or openrowsetselect * into #a from openquery(...)but this will create a new connection with more problems probably.Another option is to create the temp table from the table structure - as you want to do this using a variable containg the table name you will have to get the structure from the system tables and use alter table to add columns to the temp table. The temp table will only then be available to nested batches (exec's or called SPs). Probably better to review what you are trying to do.seehttp://www.nigelrivett.net/AccessTempTablesAcrossSPs.html==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
