Hi there,

I'm having trouble getting an import to work.

Here what i want:

i have created a dsn to extract data from an SQL2000 server into Excel. this all works fine. Now i have edited the data and would like to import the updated fields in my database.

There are no new fields just updated information. I have used the import wizard from SQL Enterprise manager. I have selected to delete the current table and replace is with the one ive created.

This is where the problems begin.

When i finish the wizard i get an error saying there is a conflict "collum reference constraint". wich i think has something to do that there are links to this table wich can not be simply deleted and recreated.

How do i get around this?

Why not start afresh and recreate and export from scratch

You would have the old and the updated all together
