I am trying to use the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to copy data from my production db to my dev db but when I do it fails with the error "The INSERT statment conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint" i have over 40 tables with lots of FK constraints, is there some easy way to deal with this without having to write a drop constraint/add constrat script?

Edit: I just found out that in Web edition of SQL Server, which is what I am running, DTS will not let you save packages.
