sql server dts: I am attemting to move records from a text file into an existing table in SQL
Server 2000. I only want to append any new records to the table, ignoring any
records in the file that already exist in the table. But when I try to do
this using DTS, it sees the duplicate key and just errors out. Is there a way
to tell DTS to do what I want.

thanks you so much for any help

I would consider using a staging table:

DataPump[File >> Staging Table]
Then SQL Query object to insert data that are not already in (insert into
destination table select [...] Left outer join [...] b where b.key is null)
