Data migration using Import/export wizard SQL 2000 to SQL 2005

I am trying to import data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005

The Data schemas are the same in both (tables, relationships, key and triggers).

Using the wizard I am trying to import data from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The issue I face is to manage the Idenity columns. I do not want the identity values from the SQL 2000 DB which may be at say 5000, instead I want to use the identity values from the SQL 2005 database which will problably start at 1

Is there a way to do this, should I use a custom query instead of a direct table dump. If using a custom query do I need to just specify a Select query or does it have to be a specific "INSERT INTO Table ..." type query

If I do import the data directly with Identity "ON" how can I advance the identity column value to current +1 on the SQL 2005 table.

Thanks

You need to ignore the IDENTITY column in the source table. Use a custom query to specify the remaining columns.|||Could you give me diffrent kinds of query of Data migration using DTS package 2000 to 2005.
