2) Right click on the table you want to copy data to in the Object Explorer and select Import Wizard.
3) On the right side of the Import Wizard, click the Add Query button.
4) Select the database you want the data to come from in the drop-down field.
5) Type a select statement into the window that will give you the data you want to copy.
6) Continue through the wizard until data is copied.
WORKAROUND 2: Using Import Export Data feature with Import Source: Add Table

Click Next.
4) Verify the Datasource table and click Next.
5) On Select Target window, choose an existing table or create a new table in your target database.
