Todd writes "I have a legacy application that is exporting out some TAB delimited data which I am using DTS to pick up and put into a table. The problem is that some of the columns have multiple values! So I am ending up with a Table that violates the First Normal Form due to repeating data. The delimter for the multi-valued data is an asteric or tilda.

I would like to import the first data set and then go through the columns with repeating values and put them into another Table.

I have read through 2 books and BOL and found no examples of this type.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Todd"
