In my 1st few weeks of trying to make use of the DTS import, i couldn't get past the 'FINISH' button. The system simply hangs as soon as i press that button. Does it have anything to do with the fact that the database that i'm trying to import is an Access 2000 database?
Anyway, A few weeks after, i was able to succesfuly import Access 2000 databases. That would've put to rest that problem DESPITE THE FACT THAT I NEVER KNEW WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
However, recently, we just aquired a Pentium4 unit and out of curiosity, i decided to try installing SQL Server7 (desktop edition). Once again, i tried to import an Access 2000 database. And just like before, i couldn't get past the FINISH button. "

Try installing Service Pack 3 on your SQL Server installations. Also try installing the latest MDAC components, you can get them here:

Get either MDAC 2.6 SP1 or MDAC 2.7 if you're running WinXP. This updates all of the drivers and will most likely solve the problem.
