There's no "neater" way to do this. You'll save time if you accept it and look at something else.

EDIT: Aha! Regarding the OP's comment that "We have to load data into a new database each month or else it gets too large.". Surprising in retrospect that no one remarked on the faint smell of this problem.

SQL Server offers native mechanisms for dealing with tables that get "too large" (in particular, partitioning), which will allow you to address the table as a single entity, while dividing the table into separate files in the background, thus eliminating your current problem altogether.

To put it another way, this is a problem for your DB administrator, not the DB consumer. If that happens to be you as well, I suggest you look into partitioning this table.
