1) What for?
2) If there is no database name what will tell you which database this particular table belongs to?

what I mean is, i am getting back the SAME TABLES list for each database but these tables are not actually in the database. how do i make the query list only the tables that are actually in the database???

I see a join from sysindexes to sysobjects: si.id = OBJECT_ID(so.name)
BTW, quite, mmm..., not reasonable. It must be just si.id = so.id.
But where is your join to sysdatabases?

Sysobjects - sysindexes joins on 'id'...which join should I use to include sysdatabases?
I still have not been able to get the correct results..I need the follow:
Dbname, Tblname, rowcnt

I think you should not include sysdatabases. Why would you do it?
Sysobjects and sysindexes are in each database; that means, your query always works only with tables from the CURRENT database. If I understood what you are trying to do, this could be what you need:
SELECT
db_name() [DatabaseName],
so.name [TableName],
si.rows [RowCount]
FROM sysobjects so
JOIN sysindexes si ON si.id = so.id
WHERE so.xtype = 'U'
AND si.indid IN (0,255) /*see BOL - 0 and 255 mean that it is a table (not index)*/
ORDER BY so.name DESC
This way there will be no duplicates, unless you have several tables with same name but different owner. What do you want to do if this happens?
There is undocumented procedure sp_MSforeachdb that could help you if you want to run the same code in all databases. However, I never used it myself so I can't explain how to do it properly.
