If you insist on converting from MySQL to MS SQL Server (a concept which boggles me, to be honest), try executing a mysqldump from the DOS command line to get a copy of the database, then importing the resulting file into SQL Server. Mind you, I've never tried this personally, but I have done it the other way around. I'm not sure ODBC drivers exist for MySQL. Although I work with both platforms, I've never had a need to connect a SQL Server database to a MySQL database. -- Richard S.
