Hi,

I don't understand why you "lost" temporary table.
I use tow ways:
1) dynamic SQL with EXECUTE
2) OLE-DB

>OpenRowSet() does not allow to use variables for its parameters. We have to either encapsulate the entire command into a string and SQL exec that or find another way. The first one is complicated as we loose the scope of our temporary table. Anyone has a better approach to resolve that issue?
