• Obligatory MS Technet article - Creating a DTS package . . .

    (Assuming SQL 2000 since we're in the 2000 forum)

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917688.aspx

    Rather than perform "all" the tasks on the fly . . .

    you could split things up a bit . . .

    i.e.

    1.) Get the data into a table in the DB

    2.) Use that newly imported data to update the other table(s)

    Start off by using the DTS import wizard

    - Open SQL Server Enterprise Manager

    - Right click on the DB

    - Select "All Tasks"

    - Select "Import Data"

    (run through the wizard and at the end - Save the DTS Package)

    Navigate down the Enterprise Manager tree to "Data Transformation Services"

    (and the package you just created/saved.)

    Right click on the package and select "Design Package"

    You'll see the graphical workspace . . .

    (with the steps the wizard used to import the data . . . )

    With data import task completed you can easily add in "Workflow"s & extra "Task"s to manipulate the data / perform jobs / etc.
