Manjula,
I worked for Lawson several years ago. How much data do you have?
Lawson has (well, had when I worked with it) built-in tools that can
perform this conversion for you. You simply define a new data source in SQL
Server and then execute a command to move your data from one system to
another. The tables are exactly the same on both systems. My only
reservation is if you have vast amounts of data such that the time might be
longer than you like. Or if you have extremely stringent downtime
requirements - but then next week is a Thanksgiving holiday :-).
