this is easy enough w/o output parameters (if you don't want to get into it)


EXEC Sproc1 (@userid as varchar(20)) AS

SET NOCOUNT ON
CREATE TABLE #Temp1 (PayRollNo varchar(25),
		     JobDate varchar(25))

INSERT INTO #Temp1
EXEC sproc2 @UserID

DECLARE @Param1 as varchar(25), @param2 as Varchar(25)
SELECT @Param1 = Field1, @param2 = Field2 From #Temp1

Exec Sproc3 @Param1, @Param2


SET NOCOUNT OFF


by the way if you're practicing your sprocs try looking in QA (sql server 2000) and using the tools there, it has simple things such as it will create an select/insert/update/delete statement for a table/view/sproc.  check itout you'll find that you'll be writing more and more complex sprocs in no time.... using gui tools like in EM and Access' QBE I've found are a terrible crutch cuz normally you don't take the time to fully examine the sql.
