You are right, it was not a full blown install. I had to play the hand I was dealt, and ended up following Kevin' suggestion.

Notice that I said it is not in SQL SSMS. Yes this got loaded when you installed SQL2005 but you probably never went to the Business Intelligence Development Studio. There you can connect the dbf to SQL containers. Set up any conversions you need. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Web and Windows Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/c4313dbe0903181019o134219dauf57e6233df57e...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
