Never Mind,

I always seem to answer my own questions.

For anyone who's wondering the information is in two system tables

sysobject and syscolumns

Just create a view using the ID as the link and there you go!

Does MS SQL Server 2000 retain the old 'sp_help' stored procedure? It essentially performed the same option but formated it nicely, said the datatype, etc.

Try sp_help tablename and see if it works.
