The text is not 100% organized. There is a little difference between the entries in the each text file.
I want to be able to make queries from which I can list the results as I wish."

I think we are going to need a little more detail.

DTS can be used to import text files but you do need to provide information concerning the layout of the file.

Alternatives are BULK INSERT and BCP. These require a little SQL knowledge - DTS has some wizards?

Tell us more about the data you want to import and how much you know about SQL Server.
