This might help:

1. You'll need connection2 to you source and desination database. It sounds like you already have your source.

2. You'll need a data flow task in the 'Control Flow' tab. Drag one of these on and double cli ck - you'll be taken to the 'data flow' tab.

3. here add a 'data source' (which it sounds like you have done) and also add an 'OLE DB Destination'.

4. Double-click your source. You shoud be able to specify the connection (again it looks like you've done that),

5. 'Data Access Mode' specifes how you want to retrieve the data. I.e. straight from a table, or write a query that returns the data

6. if it is a straight one-one mapping to the destination, you should be able to connect the two with a the green line (a precidence constraint).

If you want to do any transformations then you can do so in the query on the soruce, or put one of the transformation obejcts in between the source and destination and connect them accoringly.
