Use the export wizard by right clicking the database name and clicking tasks and then export data. Select your source and target and then choose copy one or more tables, select the table you want to export and wallah.

Did you read my post? Right click on the database name in SSMS, choose tasks then choose export data. This will launch the wizard.

If you don't see it, you must be using SQL Server 2005 Express which does not have SSIS thus no import/export functionality. If that is the case you will need to script the table as CREATE and then create it in the other database, then you can link the other database as a linked server and do a SELECT INTO to copy the data over.

Right, please read my post above - SSMSE does not have SSIS included which is used for import/export. You will need to take my second suggestion of using SP_ADDLINKEDSERVER to add a linked server to the other DB and then build the INSERT INTO... script referencing the table in the linked server using the proper fully qualified name: <servername>.<databasename>.<schemaowner>.<tablename>
