I have a database with a table Customers that have some data
I have another database in the office that everything is the same, but my table Customers is empty
How can I create a sql file in SQL Server 2005 (T-SQL) that takes everything on the table Customers from the first database, creates a, let's say, buildcustomers.sql, I zip that file, copy it across the network, execute it in my SQL Server and voila! my table Customers is full
How can I do the same for a whole database?

This functionality is already built in to Sql Server Management Studio 2008.
Just download the trial and only install the client tools (which shouldn't expire). Use Management Studio 2008 to connect to your 2005 database (its backwards compatible).
(Note: for SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2, the option is called "Types of data to script" and is the last one in the General section. The choices are "data only", "schema and data", and "schema only")

Use
bcp
(from the command line) to a networked file and then restore it.e.g.
Very quick and easy to embed within code. (I've built a database backup(restore) system around this very command.

You could always export the data from the Customers table to an Excel file and import that data into your Customers table.

If both databases resides in the same instance of SQL Server, ie use same connection, this SQL might be helpful:

I just like to add some screen shoots for Sql Server Management Studio 2008. It is correct to use the steps describe previously. When you have the 'Generate and Publish Script' -> 'Set Script Options' then press Advance to see script options:

For Sql Server Management Studio 2008 the option to included data is 'Types of data to script'
