Cannot Drop The Table '#ZipLatLong', Because It Does Not Exist Or You Do Not Have Permission...

I have a stored procedure that I am writing that is giving me trouble dropping a temp table in SQL Server 2005. I have to use the SQL in Query 1, marked below, to get the temp table. I can find the table but I get the error listed in this message's subject. If I try to run DROP TABLE #ZipLatLong I will get an error telling me that the table already exists but then I can run CREATE TABLE #ZipLatLong ( ZIP INT, Latitude DECIMAL(18,6), Longitude DECIMAL(18,6)) and that will work...

In short, SQL Server 2005 is not letting me drop temporary objects. I am getting return messages telling me that an object already exists in the database by the name I am trying to delete and then it will let me create a table with the same name...

USE TEMPDB
GO
SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_CATALOG = 'tempdb'
AND TABLE_SCHEMA = USER
AND TABLE_NAME LIKE '#ZipLatLong%'
GO
DROP TABLE #ZipLatLong
