If a Procedure calls another procedure INSIDE it's code, any #temp tables are available to it that exist in the procedure;

if the procedures are called consecutively, then the temp table has to exist prior to the first procs call, or if the proc will create the table, then only a global temp table(##Temp) will be available in that scope.

so if the proc is called inside

CREATE PROCEDURE Example

AS

BEGIN

-- Create the temp table

CREATE TABLE #temp (tempid int, temptext varchar(30))

--populate it

INSERT INTO #temp

SELECT * FROM [SomeAnonymousTable)

--call a child procedure that might do something witht eh temp table

EXECUTE ExampleProcTwo

END --PROC

GO

EXECUTE Example

CREATE PROCEDURE Example

AS

BEGIN

-- Create the global temp table

CREATE TABLE ##temp (tempid int, temptext varchar(30))

--populate it

INSERT INTO ##temp

SELECT * FROM [SomeAnonymousTable)

END --PROC

GO

EXECUTE Example

EXECUTE ExampleProcTwo
