Loss of Column properties when exporting with DTS

Exporting a sql 2000 database from one sql 2000 server to another. I am using DTS import/export Wizard. The data transfers fine but column properties such as identity = yes or default value = (getdate()) are lost in transfer. What am I missing??May check this DB JOurnal (http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/1499481) article.

Losing Format When Exporting to PDF

I have a report with a table. Some of the table header columns are
multi-worded and wrap on to a second line. For the table header columns that
are not multi-worded, I want the text to appear on the second line and not
the first line which is the default.
If I use the vbscript function â'vbcrlfâ', it renders perfectly in HTML.
However, I want to render in PDF and for some reason when it renders in PDF
the renderer is ignoring that particular formatting and so the single-worded
column text appears on the first line.
Any ideaâ's?

If I'm understand you correctly, you should be able to set the
vertical alignment of the table header column via selecting the header
row on the left-hand-side of the table control, then select F4 (for
the Properties window) and to the right of 'Vertical Align' select
'Bottom.' Hope this helps.

Loosing Bold when exporting to Excel

Hi,
I have a report that bolds font in a table cell based on an expression.
This works fine when I browse the report in reporting services. When I
export the report to Excel - all of the bold text returns to normal weight
text. Any ideas to get around this?
Thanks,
MelissaMelissa, this seems to be a hot topic this week!
I've seen three other posts on this already. This is the same as the
Excel font colour from expressions problem.
Whatever formatting the first cell evaluates too, the whole column is
set too. As far as I can tell, there is no way round this.
I've raised it as a bug with MS
