Hi guys,
this is the dilemma im in now. i have to create a DTS package that instead of doing the usual copy columns in data transformation, i need it to perform an update statement instead. Any ideas on how i should move forward with this??
appreciate for any replies..TIA

I forgot most of my DTS skills but since you have not received any responses I'll make a general suggestion:
Instead of loading the data directly into your target table, load the data into a staging table using the current 'copy columns' method and then issue an UPDATE...JOIN to update your target table from the data in your staging table.
