I'm sure one of the regulars here came up with a crafty way of working out what the return resultset column names/datatypes were.

But I'll be damned if I can find the relevant thread :-(

If it was you can you provide a link in this thread pls

sql?
select * into #tbl from openquery(myserver,'exec mydb..myproc')or openrowset

but it creates a new connection so is a bad idea.

If it doesn't use temp tables you can call the sp with set fmtonly on so it doesn't return a resultset

select * into #tbl from openquery(myserver,'set fmtonly on exec mydb..myproc')

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
