How to replicate SQL server 2000 database without using replication!

Hi,

My problem is a practical one.  I have a hosting package that lets me do anything with SQL server as long as it doesn't involve changing permissions. i.e stuff involving sysadmin.  What I want to do is fairly simple and covered perfectly with snapshot replication.  I have a SQL database on my local machine and a SQL database on my hosting company and I want to be able to update my hosted database with changes in my local database.  The changes won't be that often so a manual synchonization will be fine.  

Problem is you need admin or db_owner permissions to create the publications or subscriptions. Now as I can't use them does anyone have any ideas on how I can either update the ten table son my hosted database with the ten on my local machine?  I don't want to DROP, CREATE and INSERT every time is there a more elegnat solution?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Yes, thanks.  I think I got so caught up I didn't think logically.  Thanks for the kick.
