ive got a sql 2000 db running on a remotely hosted server. im trying to take this db and export it and import it to my new web host. my problem is that I go to the db, select export, then select, copy objects to export. i keep getting an error that the export failed due to the fact that the user doesnt exist (the existing db has a username the webhost assigned me, the new db has a different username which the new webhost assigned me). I simply want to export all the data, the tables, primary and foreign keys. help!

thanks, lance

You'll need to speak to your existing db host provider. They most likely are limiting the import/export functions available to their clients for security reasons. And also to stop you from going elsewhere...

The easiest option from your perspective is to get a complete database backup from them, then you can restore it to create the new database. Alternatively they can 'detach' the db for re-attachment on the new server.
