  What do you mean exactly?

  Pass it to your stored procedure as a VARCHAR() and use it in your query with the EXEC sql command.

  Ex for dynamic sql:

  DECLARE @MyColumn AS VARCHAR(80) ; SET @MyColumn = 'name'

  EXEC('SELECT ' + @MyColumn + ' FROM sysobjects')

  Or retrieve the column you want from the table syscolumns

  I hoped that helps.
