Restore dbase but leave 1 table the same

I have 2 servers and am migrating data occasionally from one server to the
other. There are several tables but one of the tables I do not want to be
updated by the restore. Just wondering if there is an easy way to do this?
Also the destination server has an additional stored procedure so would like
this procedure to be retained with the dbase restore.
thanks.

such as the size of the database, the size of the table in question, etc.
If the table is smallish, you can preserve a copy in a different database
before the restore. After the database restore, repopulate the table back
from the saved copy. Same can be done to the stored procedure.

different between the two tables, destination table has 2 additional columns.
I have used the create script file for stored procedures and tables out of
the server explorer in .net. Guess there is no way to script to file a table
and the data that is in it.

You could always use DMO/SMO to script the table and bcp to export the data.
