Executing SP_SpaceUsed for tables in a other database with EXEC

Hi

I'm executing SP_SpaceUsed in a stored procedure like this :

Exec ('SP_SpaceUsed '+ @.table)

This works great but when i want to execute it for a table in a other
database i'm running in to troubles. Things i tried is this :

Exec ('USE <DB> ; SP_SpaceUsed '+ @.table) -->not working (uncorrect
syntax)

Exec ('USE <DB> ; Master.dbo.SP_SpaceUsed '+ @.table) -->not working
(uncorrect syntax)

Exec ('SP_SpaceUsed <DB>.dbo.'+ @.table) --> not working (uncorrect
syntax)

Exec ('Master.dbo.SP_SpaceUsed <DB>.dbo.'+ @.table) -->not working
(uncorrect syntax)

Could someone give me a clue

Thanx,
