No, you can't. The only way to do it is to set truncate log on checkpoint
option on, and then do the load in batches. BCP has a batch size parameter
to help you do this.

Does anyone know if it is possible to switch off the Transaction log in SQL
Server 7.0, in order to run a massive load program, for example, and if so
how do you do it?

Phil.
