Duplicate tables

Hi
Is there a way for duplicating tables in two databases?
I have a db1 with 3 tables, and I would like to create 3 similar tables in
my db2 (same structure).
Is there a tool to make this easy?The easiest way, IMO, is just to script the tables using Query Analyzer and
create them in the new database. Right-click on the table in the Object
Browser, select Script Object to New Window As, and click Create. Now just
change databases and apply the script.

Simplest way is using SELECT INTO (check BOL). This will create table
(without index, constraints, foreign keys...) with the data.
Other methods are:
(a) Using BCP tool
(b) Script the table, apply it and then use INSERT INTO
