you need to use dynamic sql: EXEC('SELECT * FROM ' + @table) Howver, using dynamic sql has to be done carefully. There are plenty of caveats. do a search on these forums and also look into http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html to get a better udnerstanding of the pros/cons with dynamic sql.Dinakar NethiSQL Server MVP************************Life is short.
