Hi there!!! Trying to figure something out, I have searched this forum but no answer to my dilemma.

I have three tables on a database that I have to insert new data and update the old one. The structure of the tables is like this:

Table1
custid int primary key,identity
fname varchar(30)
lname varchar(30)

Table2
fileid int primary key, identity
ssn varchar(11)
custid int foreign key

Table3
statusid int primary key,identity
title varchar(18)
fileid int foreign key


This is very general but that's the idea. Now I receive a text file with the necessary info, I've already parse and break down the file into the correct fields.

Now for my question, how I insert the relevant data onto the tables from this one parsed file? and also how I go about inserting the primary keys from the different tables onto the foreign keys of each tables?

I tried relationships and key indexes, but it just spew a bunch of errors, that I'm investigating.

Any ideas, pointers, tuts, something I'm missing?

BTW I'm using sql 2005 express and VB.net


Thanks in advance for any help.

Try load data into staging table, then move them to target tables with your logical.
