Have you tried this : EXEC sp_depends @objname = [table name of the column you are interested in].

So for example, if you had a column named Price in a table named Product, you would execute this: EXEC sp_depends @objname = N'Product'.

Simply executing this would give you list of all sps, views, etc which depend on that particular table.

I use this all the time as I work with a db which has over 400 tables :-)
