I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem.

I'm attempting to do the following

declare @lastOrder int,
@stateName varchar(2),
@qryString varchar(255)

set @qryString = 'select @lastOrder = max(orderID) from CustomerOrders_'+@stateName+''

The error I get is that '@lastOrder' has not been declared.
But as you can see in the code above, it has been declared. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Ali

You'll need to use sp_executesql with the OUTPUT option:
