Yaşa bey !

Akılına sağlık.

TransformFlags = DTSTransformFlag_ForceConvert

is exactly the answer I needed !!! I found the transform flags in the docs but couldn't figure out the vbscript syntax to get it into the transform script.

You definitely have more languages than I do ( I figure C, Vbscript, C# and probably 4 or 5 I don't know about beat my Thai, Lao and Bahasa :-)
- but I bet we both count in Persian when we play tavla )

>c(36) and c(38) versions are not binary (nocptrans). They're plain char fields and directly convertible to uniqueidentifier.
>PS: I see DBTYPE_BYTES there. It matches VFP9 VFPOLEDB specicification and would directly convert to DBTYPE_GUID if it were c(16) nocptrans version. At home I had old VFPOLEDB (VFP7)that maps c(16) binary to DBTYPE_STR and I had to use varbinary first). When it's DBTYPE_BYTES a GUID is exactly 16 bytes (16*8=128 bits value).

>>>I created a database in VFP with 3 tables in it. Those 3 tables had c(38),c(36) and c(16) nocptrans versions respectively.
>>>In SQL server DTS I directly mapped 36,38 ones to uniqueidentifier and 16 bytes one to varbinary(16). All imported sucessfully. After import I changed type of 3rd one to uniqueidentifier.

If I do that the DTS transformation allows me to select UniqueID as the destination data type, but the import fails saying that a forcedconversion is required and I can't find out how to do that. ( will go back and try again on the DTS wizard )
