Assuming that spt_values is a table, I think your problem lies in the 
database that you're trying to get the table from. If you examine the 
error string "master.dbo.spt_values" that indicates that you're trying to 
access the MASTER database, where this table hopefully isn't stored. The 
master database should never contain any user tables.
