If you are going to be using the DTS to use multiple datasources? =
isn't
that the same thing as creating a new table with a stored procedure and
copying the table over? essentially making it one datasource?

Subject: RE: 2 different data sources
Here's a solution:
If you need to join two or more tables from different datasources in a
query, you're going to have to do your linking inside on of the =
datasources
or in a new datasource. MS ACCESS allows a REALLY simple way to do =
this
with the command:
"FILE >> GET EXTERNAL DATA >> LINK TABLES"
That lets you set up a local reference in your .MDB file to a table in =
an
another database, either through JET or ODBC (yes, you too can connect =
to
ODBC datasources in access if they're set up on your local machine.) =
Just
note that you can only perform this function if you are working on the
ACTUAL machine which this database will reside. MS ACCESS is funny =
like
that -- so you'll have to install Access on your server and do the =
linking
from there. So, as an example, if I have one datasource called
"EMPLOYEEDATA" and one called "PAYROLLDATA" and I wanted to run a query =
that
joined "EMPLOYEEDATA.tblEmployees" and "PAYROLLDATA.tblChecks", I would
create an MS ACCESS database that contained "Link Tables" for each, =
even
though I use SQL SERVER for all my other database functions. It's =
pretty
easy to do, if a bit kludgey.
SQL SERVER also has a way to connect to external datasources through =
it's
DATA TRANSFORMATION SERVICES area. I'm not as familiar with using =
STORED
PROCEDURES to perform DTS actions or connect to other ODBC sources, so =
I use
little MS ACCESS databases as my connection points between seperate =
ODBC
datasources.
Peas.
