I need help! Here is what i have going. I have a cobal database that i
connect with using a DSN/ODBC (the source data) and i have a Sql 2000
database that i am trying to copy the data to. I have a DTS package
setup doing this task just fine but i need to do this process using
ado.net/vb.net, not using DTS (dont ask why, long story). I have been
searching around places and just cant find any good code examples to
help me get started. Can anyone helP?

I already have the tables setup in sql server and they are identical to
the Cobal database.

Open a connection to both databases, read the data from one, and write
it to the other.

No problem. ADO.NET 2.0 exposes the SqlBulkCopy method that does what DTS
does...

Yes, right. 1.1. You can still call BCP via SQLDMO API calls.
