Have you tried creating this function in the other database, and just calling it?

i.e.:

alter function db.dbo.fn1

returns int

as

begin

declare @id int

set @id=3

select col1 from dbo.test1 where col1=2

return @id

end

then call it by:

select db.dbo.fn1

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Wayne, i tried. But in 2008 , you get:

Msg 166, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

'CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION' does not allow specifying the database name as a prefix to the object name.
