I have situation where i have to every month bring in new data from Text files which are Vertical tab separated in columns and carriage return for every row.
The are many such files which are entered into many tables

For this i will have to manually do the DTS every month.
can we automate the DTS, so that every time i just have to do minimum effort and all the DTS run for the respective files?

See
http://www.nigelrivett.net/ImportTextFiles.html

Doesn't use dts but will import all files that arrive in a directory.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
