make a stored procedure reads from another stored procedure?
how can I make a stored procedure read from another stored procedure( select from [name of stored procedure]). Every time I try to do that I get an error "invalid object name (name of the stored procedure I'm trying to read from). for more information about the question history you can check the question under the title "copy SQL query from Access to SQL"

Your question is unclear.
Do you want one stored procedure to read the CODE from another stored procedure? (Why????)
Or do you want one stored procedure to read the data results of another stored procedure?

exactly one stored proc(First) to read the results of another stored proc(second). The results are in a form of a table (i.e. the second stored proc has a select statement that produces a lot of data records and I want the First SP to read these records and do some stuff on them)
Have FIRST create a temporary table (name must start with a #) Call SECOND, as clarkd suggests, but have it insert its records into the temp table.
Something like that. I just answered a similar question.
DECLARE @01 varchar(255)
CREATE TABLE #temp(sid int,fname varchar(10))
INSERT INTO #temp EXEC stored_proc @param1,@param2
SELECT * FROM #temp
DROP TABLE #temp
and the first statement in stored_proc must be something like SELECT filed1,field2, to match the structure of temp table
