Hello all,
I am fairly new to SQL and am running with 2005 Dev. edition. I use the import Wizard often and was wondering if there was a method to save an import "profile" and execute it with out having to key it all in each time?

thanks!

OOhhh I think I got it.
It is using the user name and password that I alread entered from the previous screen?

I think I just saved one. I assume I can open it from entery screen?
can this be executed a recurring time of day everyday? To automate it?

You can schedule it to run everyday. For that you need to create a SQL Agent job and execute package from it. The job will be scheduled to run as per your need.
