How come in the import\export wizard there is no data source for Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0? I am trying to import a .dbf file. Is there a way to add data sources to the drop down?
Thanks for any help. I miss DTS...

You will need to install the driver.

But where are you running the wizard from? Directly on the database server or from your client machine?

I remote into the server and open SQL Server Mgmt Studio and run it there. This is not the default instance but a named instance, if that matters.
I did try on the default instance and it does not show up there either.
Thanks for taking the time to help me

I am not familiar with xp_enum_oledb_providers, so I'm not sure if it would even show up there if the driver was installed.

Try googling for the driver and seeing if you can get it installed.
