| In the transformation, just don't have it put data into that column. Or you could create a staging table that doesn't have the identity column. Pump the data into it, then move the data from it to your table using INSERT INTO with a column list that excludes the identity column.Tara |

| You'll need to use the staging table then or turn the identity option often.Tara |
