Thanks"

Hi,

I am also facing the same problem,
So if u find any solution let me know.
I am trying import data from SQL Server,
and i am having identity column set in tables in my database
example Customers => CustID identity(1000,1)
I am having CustID from 1 to 1000 set for internal Customer,
When i Import the data the CustID is reset and start the ID from 1000 onward which causes a problem in linking with orders tabel which belong someother customers,

I tried using SQL Server 2000 DTS to export it to SQL 2005 and it works fine without manuplating the ID column (CustID).

Which means there is should be someting in Import Export of SQL 2005 which does this, I tried enabling and disabling the identity column option in SQL 2005 Import / Export wizard but nothing happend.

Can anyone help regarding this
