You should be able to do a join using an @tableVariable
SELECT *
FROM table1 t
FULL JOIN @tableVariable tv
ON (tv.col = cnc.col)
Could it have anything to do with your compatability setting? (mine is at 100)
sp_dbcmptlevel 'database_name'
ALTER DATABASE database_name
SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = { 80 | 90 | 100 }
