Import and Export Wizard throws errors when theres alot of tables

I’m trying to copy data from production to my local machine using the SQL Server 2005 import and export wizard. It works fine if I select a small number of tables but throws errors

When there’s a lot of tables. Have you ever experienced problems using it? Is there a better way to transfer the data?

the data source is SQL Server 2000 and the target is 2005. I have the optimize for many tables and transaction options selected

Here’s the errors I get

Execute the transfer with the TransferProvider. (Error)

Umm, do you have existing tables that have a column named, ErrorCode?|||very possible..if so what am i supposed to do to fix the problem ?|||Rename the columns in the tables... Really, not many options to do here.

I have created a Connect bug in relation to this:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=252471

You should go there and vote, with comments, to help give more weight to the bug. Also "validate" it.

Thanks,
Phil|||

Thx, Didn;t see the siginficance of the fact that the column was called ErrorCode Right awy. I've been trying to use Import and Export to load data from production 2000 to local 2005 for several days now and I'm pretty burnt out. The vote does not seem enabled at the moment I'll look at it again tomorrow
