How to retrieve table names

[choudhuryshouvi]

I've developed a software using VB6 and MSSQL 7.0. Now I need to create a backup-restore program on behalf of my software. For this I need to fetch down all the table names located inside the database used in the software.

My database name is -->BILLING_SYSTEM
and I've also created a Security LogIn -- BS(BS) for this.
All jobs have been done using Sql Server Enterprise Manager.
My software uses an USER-DSN connection to communicate with the sql server.

Now my question is how can I issue an sql command which can fetch down all the table names
from the BILLING_SYSTEM database. I mean what is the sql query for that like we issue this in case of Oracle :-

SELECT * FROM SYSDBA_USERS WHERE OWNER='<DATABASE NAME>'

Can anybody help me????

Ok....here is the code that I used....

[B]''opening my database[/B]
use BILLING_SYSTEM
[B]''fetching all tables[/B]
select distinct name from sysobjects where xtype='U'
