John, I was talking about connecting to sql 2000, in which case sys tables are still there. U r right, in 2005 you'd want to use DMVs.

Just to nitpick a bit (it was a nice article), but last I heard the systables are being depricated, as well, in favor of the system views. As such you would want to do away with the calls to sysobjects:

SELECT name FROM sysobjects

should be

SELECT name FROM sys.objects

and

Select crdate as DateCreated

From dbo.sysobjects

should be

Select create_date as DateCreated

From sys.objects
