cannot import table in management studio wizard. ODBC Error

Im using the Tasks/Import wizard in Management Studio for a 2005 MSSQL to import a table from another database, same MSSQL server

on my machine im having: mssql 2000 (default instance), mssql 2005. 2000 is not running, only 2005.

(by the way: all .net tools like Management Studio, Database explorer in VS 2005 and so on NEVER find the 2005 instance in the combo for available servers ! i always have to enter it manually)

I am always getting:

Operation stopped...

- Initializing Data Flow Task (Success)

- Initializing Connections (Success)

- Setting SQL Command (Success)

- Setting Source Connection (Error)

Messages

The connection "SourceConnectionOLEDB" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
({3A6A6A25-FF8B-4E17-B2A9-C0181A291B5D})

I tried all scenarios:

different databases / tables in same server / different servers, 1 talbe, many....

it always stops there !

What do I have to do ? It is impossible to work like that !

thanks in advance, Michael
