I could be mistaken but I think the Toolkit is just a bundle. The trial had both the tools you mention (Compare, and Data Compare). After using it a few days, I think it rocks but just wanted to see if others thought the same about it or if anyone had run into problems with it. I had the same problem with the comparison keys at first but after I set up custom comparison keys within the tool it works fine. It seems superior to using DTS to me. I could be wrong here but setting up a DTS packet that compares and updates (rather than drop or delete data and replace) seems like a rather tedious task with DTS (maybe I'm missing something though?) ...

And they're terrific. The only issues I ever had involved synchronization, where there were problems because constraints were not properly dropped. But even that was a couple of versions back. In general, these guys make terrific tools and are actually accessible if you need help. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor - Figleaf Software <http://www.figleaf.com> To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink <http://www.fusionlink.com> ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor FigLeaf Software - http://www.figleaf.com To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
