[code]
create table #temp
(
DATABASE_NAME varchar(100),
DATABASE_SIZE int,
REMARKS varchar(100)
)

insert into #temp exec sp_databases

select * from #temp

drop table #temp
[/code]

Also note that as Tan's example, destination table should have similar structure as that of what sp returns

for unknown sproc use this:


-- add 'loopback' linkedserver 
if exists (select * from master..sysservers where srvname = 'loopback')
    exec sp_dropserver 'loopback'
go
exec sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'loopback',
    @srvproduct = N'',
    @provider = N'SQLOLEDB', 
    @datasrc = @@servername
go

select * into #t from openquery(loopback, 'exec sp_databases') 
select * from #t
drop table #t
go

Go with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow
