Can someone tell me how to get the syntax right for the following cmd in Query Analyzer...

set @cmd =
'OSQL -Uusername -Pmypwd -Q"select * from table"'

I have tried many combinations without any luck using single quotes so that it will work in a SP.

You need to use the extended procedure "xp_cmdshell". Refer to the BOL for the syntax directions.
