Hi All

I regularly import data from MS access databases (and many other formats) to
SQL server using the enterprise manager. However, the DBTIMESTAMP property
of Access gets imported as a smalldatetime in SQL server, which often causes
problems. At the moment, I click on every table and select the DateTime
property for each DBTIMESTAMP field before running the import. However, this
is a pain and I was wandering if I can set the default mapping to choose
DateTime instead either in my SQL Server, or in the individual database I
have created to import the data into.

Any help would be great... Also, if anyone knows of any cool software or
methods for importing very different databases into my one I would love to
know.

Thanx in advance
Joe
