move/copy database items from SS 2005 Express to SS 2005 Standard?

Can anyone refer me to good 'recipes' or sources of information on this
topic'
I have Visual Studio Tools for Office, which installs SS 2005 Express
locally to my XP box, and I want to develop in SS 2005, then copy the
tables or queries or reports etc. to a SS 2005 Standard server.
Thank you, TomYou can:
1. Using SSMS, script out the code to re-create the table, views, queries,
etc.
2. Using SSIS, Transfer the entire database, schema and/or data
3. Pull your script files from source control, thereby making sure that
nothing is moved to the production server except items that 'should' be
moved to production. (You are using source control, aren't you?)

I tried looking around a few months ago for decent documentation,
how-to, etc. about VSS 2005, and I didn't find anything, it was not
terribly intuitive either...
I don't always need to transfer the entire database either, I might
only have to transfer a query, for example.
Or I might have to refresh the tables in my dev workstation from the
main server...
Thank you,
Tom

that is included with Visual Studio.
You might find part 4 of this tutorial useful for an introductory view of
Sourcesafe.

Thank you for sending the link, I think I remember that Perforce makes
a single-user version that I could use...I'll check their website.
Thank you, Tom
