In my .NET code, with SQL Server 2000 as the backend, I need to create an
exact copy, without data, of an existing table in the same database, that
the user selects from a combo box. Any ideas on how to do this?

You can create a copy without constraints or indexes using SELECT ... INTO.
Specify a WHERE clause to exclude data too:

SELECT * INTO MyNewTable FROM MyTable WHERE 1 = 0

Note that the user will need CREATE TABLE permissions. This isn't the kind
of thing one usually does in database applications though.

Hope this helps.
