So that's why it's urgent?

It seems that somehow you are using a tool where GO is not a batch
terminator. GO is as far as SQL Server is concerned just another two-
letter identifier. Tools usually uses GO as a batch separator, which
means that if you have:

SELECT this FROM tbl
go
SELECT that FROM tbl
go
SELECT thisandthat FROM tbl

the tool will pass the three SELECT statements one at a time to SQL Server,
whereas if you remove the "go"s, SQL Server get all three statements at
once. In neither case, SQL Server will not see "go" itself.

Tip: if you are using Enterprise Manager to write your stored procedures,
stop doing that. Use Query Analyzer instead, since this is a far better
editor. (Although QA in SQL7 is a bit bleak compared to QA in SQL2000, as
I recall.)
Create Procedure Sp_FillUserDetails

Don't use sp_ in the name of your stored procedures. This prefix is
reserved for system procedures, and SQL Server first looks for such
procedure in the master database.
