Export to DBIII from SQL Server 2000 DTS package




I am having a difficult time exporting a large table in SQL server
(2GB) to a dBase DBIII .dbf file via a DTS package in SQL Server 2000.
I've looked through many articles in Google groups and elsewhere about
this and I'm still having trouble.

When I use the standard Microsoft DBIII datasource the export works
fine up until 255MB where I get the message "Cannot update; Table is
currently locked". This KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;238431 mentions
using the Microsoft FoxPro VFP Driver to access the DBIII files which I
downloaded and installed.

In the DTS package I drop the .dbf file and then recreate it via the
standard DBIII datasource.

I created a new datasource using the VFP driver and selected Free Table
Directory and checked/unchecked the Null option but am unable to
populate the .dbf file. I am getting "Destination does not allow null
on column pair one" error during export.

If anyone has exported/imported to a DBIII file before via the
Microsoft FoxPro VFP Driver I would greatly appreciate some advice.

Thanks,
pc
