    Automating List Template Creation

    I have to move a very large number of Sharepoint 2003 Lists to a new Portal Site.  I'm looking for an automated process to create the list templates and also add the list to a page on the new site from the template.  Are there any tools for this? Can I utilize WSS WebService List.asmx?

    Hi,

    I don't know of any third party products that you could buy that does what you are asking but a small program can be written with C# or VB.NET and SharePoint API that could create the new List from the old List and migrate the data over and there might be some products already out there that can accomplish this.

    How many Lists are you talking about?

    Cheers
