Take a look at Data Transformation Services (DTS) in 2000, or SQL Server Intergation Services (SSIS) in 2005

Either start creating a package or use the Import Wizard, which will create a simple package for you.

No, when you create the package/import you will be prompted to enter the details for each server.

So the only way I can import data from a different server is by creating a package? Also when I try tranfering the data from Filemaker to SQL Server database, an error comes up and tells me that the data can not be put in SQl Server, because of the datatype mismatch. I solved this by changing the data type to text for the time being. SQL 2005, doesn't like the data source that's coming from Filemaker either. However, SQL 2003 tranfers all 15 tables of data and automaticlly changes the datatypes for me. Do you know anyreason why SQL 2005 don't like the data source.
