Evan, thanks for the reply.

>>If your client has the Enterprise Manager with SQL 7, that tool should be able to connect and attach to the MSDE tables,<<

Maybe I didn't explain myself too well. The MSDE tables do not exist yet - what I want to do is extract data from SQL7 tables into tables which I can transfer to a standalone pc which will be running MSDE. Can I acheive this with the enterprise manager?

Many thanks,
Alan
