John,

I don't have a SQL reference in front of me either. But I remember that if you specify the full name of the table, including database name, you need to reference the database owners name also.

>>I have an SQL system with a "master" database used for system functions and mulitple "company" databases. The ODBC is defaulted to the "master" and the program targets the appropriate "company". I do not have access to the code that does this. I need to execute a stored procedure that increments the next customer number for the company. The code that I have works, but only if I manually set the default database to the appropriate "company" in the ODBC setup as the default database. To execute the sp I create a new connection (SQLCONNECT) and then make a call to the sp.
