Sybase to SQL Server 2000 using DTS

I am currently pulling in 60 tables from a Sybase database into SQL Server 2000. To do this I have set up 6 DTS packages each with 10 transformations, and a global package which runs each DTS.

Adding new tables is convoluted and can cause problems, and also transfer speed is quite slow as servers are remote from one another.

Is there a better way of doing this? Can the routine be driven dynamically from a list of tables we need to pull in? If this can be done then I would only need to set up one transformation.
Thanks in advanced.
 
We were pulling over about 35 tables and one quick way to get things setup is with the wizard. Our transformation was from Access to SQL Server. The wizard allows you to select all tables in a database.

This is much quicker than selecting each table individually and building the DTS package by hand.
