I haven't been able to find a solution either, so I had to list all the fields. I did use the DTS wizard however, selected the table and fields to export and had a list of fields generated in one of the steps by the wizard. A simple copy-and-paste into my code solved the problem of typing all fields.

This however does not work, if your table structure changes. Good ol' VFP has the commands:

SCATTER MEMVAR
RELEASE ID
INSERT INTO ..
GATHER MEMVAR

I wish someone could suggest something similar for SQL.
