Is there was to take the output; not the reture value, retrieved from a stored procedure to a table in SQL?
So I want to essentially do this:

SQL

DECLARE @TempTable Table(field1 varchar(max),field2 varchar(max), field3 varchar(max)

INSERT @TempTable= EXECUTE dbo.sp_MySP @SomeParam --Issue is this gives xml rather than a table

SELECT * FROM @TempTable

Yes. And you're almost there. Remove the =.

INSERT @TempTable EXECUTE dbo.sp_MySP @SomeParam

"Issue is this gives xml rather than a table"

Oh, does the procedure return XML?

The procedure returns a integer, which is not relevant to the XML output that I am trying to retrieve...I know that the procedure returns xml output, as I can see it when it when it runs in sql management studio. I just want to be able to take that output and insert it into a temp table.

You should have specified that in the question and showed an example of the XML.

By the way, INSERT @TempTable EXECUTE dbo.sp_MySP @SomeParam
causes the following message to appear:
"Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition"

If you want to get output in XML format, please, see:
FOR XML (SQL Server)[^]
Use PATH Mode with FOR XML[^]

Im not following how these examples are relevant. I need a way to take the xml output generated by the SP and put it in a table.
