• could it be security? does the uer who is inserting/updating into the table also have insert rights on the table in the other database?

    maybe these specific statements need EXECUTE AS to make them occur correcty:

    UPDATE test1.dbo.tblUser

    Set ext = @ext,

    ext2 = @ext

    where loginname = @user

    UPDATE test1.dbo.tblUser2

    Set ext = @ext,

    ext2 = @ext

    where loginname = @user
