• I'm impressed with your article, Janet.  And I find Vincent Rainardi's experience very helpful.  Being the novice that I am with SQL DTS (I shudder when I think of DTS), I'd be interested in seeing some examples so I'll have something to build upon.  In the next two years I'm charged with migrating a mainframe database to the SQL Servers.  YeeHAA!!  What a challenge!  So, examples would be helpful for me and some of my associates.

    And, Janet, I hope that you'll take the encouragement of the other forum members in the kind manner they meant it.  Many years ago, I heard someone speak these words and they became a foundation stone in my daily walk: "We never build ourselves up by tearing other people down."  I heard it given again recently in a world-wide broadcast, and the speaker said, "It is a true principle."  And I, too, know that it is true.

    Thank you for your approach to "developing a long term solution".  My sentiments exactly. Keep up the good work.
