Author How do I create a script to populate a table?

Using SQL Server Express 2005, SQL Server Management Studio Express:

How do I create a script to populate a table? Say I have a populated
table that I need to deploy with my app; isn't there a tool that can
create a script which replicates a table I already have? I know how to
generate a script to *create* the table but how can I create a script
that populates it? Any help appreciated...

I don't think I explained this right. How do I create a script that
populates a database from a database that is already populated. For
example, I have an application which needs to install SQL Server
Express and a database on the client's system. Now, I know how to
generate a script to create an unpopulated database (just rightclick in
Management studio), but say I want to programmatically populate the
database with a script containing a series of INSERT statements. Can't
I just right click somewhere in studio on a populated database and
select "generate Insert statements"?

OK, thanks for your help. From the page you posted I tried the SQL
Scripter tool at http://www.sqlscripter.com/ and it works great.
Thanks again for your help.
