Copying data from PRD to TST

I've got two DBs in the same SQL instance. They are named TST and PRD. I am using 2.0 so there are many ASP generated tables also.

Every once in a while I want to refresh data from PRD to TST. But I don't want to copy the data from ASP tables.

What is the easiest way to do so?

|||I've always used SQL Server's built-in Data Transformation Services (DTS) to transfer data from one database to another. Be sure not to check the option to Create Destination Objects; choose only to Copy Data.|||Can you suggest a good resource for DTS? If I Google, there are so many hits that it is kinda hard to find a good one.|||Which version of SQL Server are you running? (Please be sure to put this information into any of your posts related to SQL Server.)|||Sorry about that. SQL Server 2005.|||Well, I haven't used SQL Server 2005 much; I currently only have SQL Express on my machine, and no Management Studio. However, I found this article which might help you get started:SQL Server 2005 Integration Services - Import and Export Wizard.
