Perhaps the application is retrieving result set meta-data with SET FMTONLY
ON. This will result in an error since the #spdbdesc temp table does not
exist when the proc is executed with SET FMTONLY ON.

It's difficult to say without seeing your code. The snippet below works for
me with SQL Server Developer Edition under Vista. I would expect it to work
under SQL Express too.


DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SqlConnection connection =
new SqlConnection("Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=SSPI");
SqlCommand command =
new SqlCommand("sp_helpdb", connection);
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(command);
connection.Open();
da.Fill(dt);
connection.Close();

Hope this helps.
