I'll show my ignorance;

   Why don't you just have the W2K machine FTP the file down as a flatfile, or 
as a comma separate file
if that is what you really need?  I do this on a pretty regular basis here. It 
sounds like you are making a pretty simple task much
more difficult that it really has to be...
