Temporary Table - column names must be unique

Transact-SQL
,

I am getting the following error message:

Column names in each table must be unique. Column name 'ColumnName' in table '#tmpTbl' is specified more than once.

I know it has to do with the **join **and yes, I know I can also declare a table with all the parameters but there are 30 separate tables I need to do this with and that's time consuming.

Here's the script:

SELECT * INTO #tmpTbl
FROM Archive.dbo.ShipTo i
INNER JOIN Archive.dbo.Order o ON o.ShipToID = i.ShipToID
WHERE o.OrderID = 15051
ALTER TABLE #tmpTbl
DROP COLUMN ArchiveDate
select * from #tmpTbl

I've tried a few things and searched around for a solution but just can't find one.
And like I mentioned, creating a table like DECLARE @tmp TABLE (Col1 INT, ...) would be time consuming.

Thanks for any input.

And of course, five minutes after posting this, I figure it out.
It should be:

SELECT i.* INTO #tmpTbl

IN general, don't use SELECT * or SELECT i.* as in your case, at least not in production code. It's OK for debugging

Well this script will only be used very rarely to move an item from the archives back to production.
Otherwise I would and always do list the column names.
