convert foxpro 3.0 table

Hi,

I've got about 6000 tables in foxpro 3.0 and a database in sql srv 2000.

now i've to convert the data of these 6000 tables into the database. the problem is that i have to convert all the tables seperatly!

is there a tool where i can convert these tables automatically?

i know it can with DTS, but the 6000 tables are divided over 1400 directories. So with DTS i can't convert them automatically.

does anyone know a solution?I dont see why not. Setup a string of load thru a query that loops. Try a complete import. I'm sure it can be done. You might want to test the process and do the conversion during off hours when there no other system activity.

so you are saying that i can loop through the directories with a DTS package?|||Yes, That's correct.
It may take some time to put together so doing manually depend on whether this process will need to be run multiple times??
