Avoid duplicate index while creating temp table

We are using SQL 2K with sp4.
In our stored procedure, we create a temp table (i.e. #tablename) and
various indexes within the temp table. If mutliple users execute this store
d
procedure at the same time, it would cause duplicate index error. As a
temporary fix, we attach an unique number to the index name. I like to know
what is the best way to solve this problem without extra work?
wingmanI posted a similar query yesterday ( in which I completely mispelled
temporary);
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mi...b23b0ffd6?hl=en
the basic response was that the indexes can co-exist without naming
conflicts
Cheers
Will|||Wingman,
You can read about this in the BOL. They must be unique within a table or
view but do not need to be unique within a database. Each temporary table
(not global ones ##) is unique. SQL Server create a unique name per user.

multipel users accessing the same temp table.
this has GOT to lead to integrity issues.
