  Hi,

  Steps in my sp goes like this:-

  declare @mytable table (a int, b int, c int);

  insert into @mytable select tablename.field1, tablename.field2, tablename.field3;

  declare @newtable table (d int, e int, fint);

  insert into @newtable select @mytable.a, @mytable.b, @mytable.c;

  in the last line, i get an error message that " must declare scalar variable @mytable".

  What do I do?

  Thanks.

  Sanya

  insert into @mytable select tablename.field1, tablename.field2, tablename.field3;

  You don't have from clause in the above statement how will it work?

  You need to change the query

  Insert into @mytable select field1, field2, field3 from tablename

  declare @newtable table (d int, e int, fint);

  insert into @newtable select @mytable.a, @mytable.b, @mytable.c;

  You need to change the query

  Insert into @newtable select a, b, c from @mytable

  Also, you cannot use a table variable name as a qualifier. You must alias the table variable as shown below. This will become important when you use table variables joined to other tables.

  declare @sample Table (ID int identity(1,1) primary key, Name varchar(50))

  insert into @sample

  select 'Adam' union all

  select 'Brad' union all

  select 'Carla'

  select S.ID, S.Name from @sample S -- you can't use @sample.ID and @sample.Name

  Sorry, I forgot to write the "from" clause in the code I wrote here in the forum. The actual sp has the 'from' clause.
