Just to make sure I'm reading this correctly -
If I were to create a table before a testing session (20-180 students taking an Adaptive Test) that contained all records meeting certain criteria (all in Subbank 6) and named it ##Subbank6, all users of the application would see it until it was destroyed after the testing session was finished.
And each individual Student could have a temp table #EAPCalc and #InfoCalc and the server would know which went with which.
That's just what I need.
