Tom writes "I'm working on a project where we allow the user to create a subset of data within various tables of of three databases. Three databases that make up a 'set'. The user selects desired items from the master set to create their 'set'. That 'set' will then be used for testing and production uses by an already written app.

In my idea phase I've thought of doing a backup and restore followed by removing the items (records) the user hasn't selected for this 'set' would be deleted. That was the first idea. The second idea was to do a dts package to copy the master set databases and do the delete of the non-selected items.

I'm open to any ideas you might have. If this is too vague I do apologize. However, I can't discuss the specifics due to security restraints.

Thanks
