Christof,

As I told, "... Sure I can prepare the VFP table first while converting data in the recods as needed, but I hoped that there could be another suitable solution".
If we consider the problem with deleted records in VFP tables (Thread #1340770), then preparing table is the only suitable solution when moving/copying VFP records to SQL Server with DTSx/SSIS packages. What a pain!
