Can anyone tell me the best way to do this?

I used to use DTS in SQL Server 2000, but this seems to of dissapeared.

I dont seem to have any similar tools installed.

Thankyou

if it's a 1 time thing you're as well off just using the import wizard.

otherwise, assuming you're using 2005 or 2008, instead of DTS we use SSIS. you find it under programs, sql server etc... business intelligence development studio

you mean the wizard or using SSIS?

for the wizard, right click on your database in management studio / object explorer. then go to tasks and import data...

for SSIS, it's a little more in depth of course but if you've used DTS before you should be able to figure it out. try and if you get stuck with specifics come back here

Thanks for your replies.

Could you please tell me where the import wizard is?

When I right click on the database, I dont get import data, I just get, detach, shrink, backup, restore.

Thanks in advance
