• Thanks for your reply.. I am back from two weeks of vacation.. and getting back to this project.. due Monday. Looking at the transfer sql server objects task.. setting up a test, never used this object before. I am sure I could do this better.. using a table to provide a list of tables we want to move ... tables where the users are entering data, not the tables where we are keeping information that is coming from other sources and these are different in the new database from the old. But given the deadline I am just going to manually go through the tables and select them in the "Select Tables" window.
