>Hi All:
> What are the steps that would allow me to give the developers at the remote location the ability to copy the data files from my office on sql server 7.0. I.E. the remote location is Texas and I want the people in Texas to go into the server here in cleveland and copy the data files and not the data itself into their server. The process of copying data is through FTP. Also if the folks in Texas are using SQL6.5 or 2000 would that create a problem in transfering the data since I am using SQL 7.0. ?

If I read this right, you want them to only get the structure of the tables... if so, you can create a script that they can run to create the tables.
