    Hello all,

    I have .csv file that I am trying to load into multiple tables on my sql server 2000...how do I perform this? If I look at the source file via notepad is all globbed together but in Wordpad its laid out row by row...I need to read each row and send to a certain table based on the first two digits...

    any guidance would be helpful...I am looking at DTS now...I tried BCP but I get Unexpected EOF encountered in BCP data-file.

    Thanks...

    Your best bet with DTS is to import the file into a staging table that has columns corresponding to the logical fields in the flat file.  Then, you can you TSQL Insert statements to move rows to the correct tables.
