how do you plan to move the data? you can try the following:
1. bcp out the data and bcp in
2. use dts to export the data
3. use linked servers to directly export

I usually employ #2 for quick transfers

Hi jen,

Isn't it a better (less complicated and all objects r selected) to use Backup - Restore ?
