Jeff:

What are the circumstances for that? When I run the following query it get the commented results:

use tempdb

go

select name as before from sysobjects where type = 'U'

exec ( 'create table #what(a int) select name as during from sysobjects where type = ''U'' ')

select name as after from sysobjects where type = 'U' order by name

/* -------- Sample Output: --------

before

------------------------

during

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#what_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________000000000005

after

------------------------
