Can Msde import DBF files in my tables

Hi Sergio,
This took me a while to figure out, but it is really simple. From my
message a few weeks ago...
"Just to update people (and for my future reference when I search Google
for my name), using DTS makes it VERY simple to import DBF files into SQL.
What screwed me up was two things:
1) While it may be possible to do in MSDE, it is very simple using DTS
on the server. I logged into my client's SQL server and ran DTS, filled
out a few options and imported all the FoxPro info into a new SQL database.
2) DTS is actually found via: Start Program > Microsoft SQL Server >
Import Export Data ... this launches the DTS wizard. I was looking
specifically for something called DTS. I should have tried the
import/export option first"
Hope this helps

Yes, it's easy in DTS but you can also save a DTS package that can then be
run in the MSDE.
