| You can try the sp_depends system stored procedure. Just pass the name of the table as a parameter and it will show you the objects referencing this table:EXECUTE [dbo].[sp_depends] 'YourTable'SQL Server Helperhttp://www.sql-server-helper.com |

| Be aware that will not locate tables referenced in dynamic SQL statements.The foolproof method is simply to script out all your code and do a text search for the table name.e4 d5 xd5 Nf6 |

| select * from dbo.syscommentswhere text like '%%' -- put table name within the single quotes..This statement works in 99.9% of cases.Syscomments are stored in chunks, so if table name crosses the boundary this query will not find it. |

| Right. It won't find all the references in a very large stored procedure.e4 d5 xd5 Nf6 |
