I have a table that lists a bunch of field names from multiple tables. I have the names setup with the table.fieldname so that I can draw information Example:
Job.JobID
Customers.CustomerName
Employees.EmployeeName
I also have the from statement built that has all the joins necessary to grab the data from these field names.
This sql statement/stored procedure will also have where and order by statements that will need to be appended to the end of the procedure.
I need to know the best way to do this.
An good and clear example would be great and would be worth 500 pts. to me
Thanks.

Just to give an idea ..you may have to do this way....(I've not put the syntax)
Declare @SQL varchar(8000)
select @sql = 'SELECT '
declare cursor ...select fieldcol from fieldtable
--for each row in cursor loop through and add it to the select
select @sql = @sql + @fieldcol + ','
--until the end of loop
select @sql = @sql + @FromClause
select @sql = @sql + @whereclause
Select @sql = @sql + @orderbyclause
exec(@sql)
