Create a Linked Server between the two and call the stored procedure over the link. I would expect that you will have some performance issues with this since it runs synchronously on the SPID executing.

How have you set the linked server up? What errors is it giving?

use sp_addlinkedserver command, for more information, see SQL BOL

There are a couple of ways for you to go about creating this linked server. The first thing you have to do though is ensure that the SQL Express Instance is configured to allow Remote TCP/IP connections. To do this, Remote Desktop to the machine that has SQL Express Installed.

Then Open the Surface Area Configuration Tool from the Start-> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools -> SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.

Then Click the Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections link.

Click on the SQLEXPRESS Instance and Expand the Database Engine under the Instance.

Click on Remote Connections, and change it to Local and Remote Connections, and you have preference on this, but I generally just use TCP/IP only. You can enable both TCP/IP and named pipes if you want.

Click ok and close the tool.

Then go back and try and create the linked server again. When I am linking to a named instance like SQL Express, I find it is often easier to use a Client Alias following this blog post:
