The option to import or export data from one database to another is typically executed with the use of the Data Import/Export Wizard. The wizard is accessible within SQL Server Management Studio, or Enterprise Manager for SQL 2000, on the database properties menu under Tasks.



However, the Import/Export Data options are not listed in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio Express by default because a full standard edition of SQL Server, or better, is required for certain advanced tools, such as importing data from a separate database.



The work around is to install theMicrosoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit, which can be downloaded from the Microsoft Website:

The installation takes approximately 20 minutes. Afterwards, navigate to theC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn folder and double click on the DTSWizard.exe file to open the Import/Export Wizard.
