Hi all,

I know how to use the DTS service in SQL Server 7.0 However, I'm needing to import quite a few files (flat) into my SQL table. Is there a way to select mulitple files, or better still, all the files in a particular directory and import them all at once using DTS.
Any replies will be appreciated.
Thanks all.
