>>Hi All,
>>
>>I need some help with an sql stored procedure. The procedure listed here passes a parameter to the Table Name and works as it should. What I also want to be able to do is to add a WHERE clause that passes two datetime parameters to filter the results to return rows that have a date field between the datetime parameters. I cannot seem to get thw where clause to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Naomi,

I typed in you suggestion and received the following errors:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure GetWellData, Line 9
Incorrect syntax near '@StartDate'.
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure GetWellData, Line 15
Must declare the scalar variable "@TableName".
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure GetWellData, Line 22
Must declare the scalar variable "@TableName".
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure GetWellData, Line 25
Must declare the scalar variable "@StartDate".


I'm sure it is somethinf simple, but I just can't see it.
