Importing entire VFP Databas into SQL Server (Use DTS?)

This is a one time operation for any of our clients who are moving to SQL
Server backend from a native VFP environment.
The tables already exist in SQL7, but are empty.
For these clients, the files are large (1GB+ aggregate)

I've used the DTS wizard to at least create a DTS package. But then I have to go
into each work flow diagram and select the table lock option so that the
package does not create any transaction logs . . . there are 100+ tables.

Also, over time, the structures of both databases will change.
The structure of some of the SQL tables differ from those in VFP (mostly
that a identity field has been added) So I would have to continually
recreate this huge package every time there is a structure update.
Is there a way I can create a package programmatically?

What is the fastest way to do this?
Or should I say there another way to do this?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Tim
