I am attempting to dts a range of tables from one DB to another, however, the database contains a default contraint, when I run the dts it fails with the following error:

The default 'GPS_CHAR' cannot be dropped because it is bound to one or more column.

Any idea on how to get around this?

Thanks

If you are just moving tables from one SQL Server to another, then I would avoid DTS for this. Just use T-SQL.

Script out the tables, then transfer the data using INSERT INTO with a linked server.

But if you must use DTS, then unbind your column prior to the transfer.
