Does anyone know how I can do this? I tried adding the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel reference to the script task but it doesn't allow me to. It only lets me pick from a selection of references that are already there (not allowing me to add new ones)
I do have this reference and have used it in VB and C# app's
If there is any other way to read an excel file please let me know, ill move onto that

I do have SQL CREATE table statement in this task. Task in foreach loop where destination SQL server table name is picked up from collection. I was unable to change column type txt text not null
to
txt varchar(MAX) not null
in visual studio until excluded this package from the project and manually edited dtsx file ( in 2 places
) and added existing package again. My editing in Visual Studio SqlStatement source always reverted sql statement to what it was before when I pressed "save" button on a toolbar or just ran the package.
I have several DTS packages that connect to various Oracle databases. An upgrade has recently been done to one of the databases from 7.3 to 8i. The other databases were always 8i. Last week, I could edit data transer tasks normally, this week, DTS hangs and I have to use task manager to kill the process. It worked fine last week. I can successfully run the packages, I just can't edit them. I have no trouble editing or running packages that connect to databases other than the one recently upgraded. I have tried both OLE DB and ODBC connections with the same results. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I have an Excel spreasheet - the first column is text, the second numbers, the third a mix of the two. If I point An Excel Source at this in my data flow, it will import the first two columns without problem, but not the third: all cells containing text are being imported as nulls, but those containing numbers are imported just fine.
Even if the numbers are stored as text, they are converted into numbers at import and genuine text is still discarded. It's treated as if the entire column is numeric if there's just one numeric value in it.
I can get around this by creating a .csv or .txt file from the excel file, but that will add an extra layer of admin to this process and I'm tryuing to make it as seamless as possible
Whilst reading in records from an excel source via the SQL command method I've stumbled across a problem.
my SQL query takes in all records where the date column is not NULL, this ensures that only populated rows are obtained. If the date is in a format that is incorrect i'd really like the whole data flow to fail. However... What seems to happen is that any rows with a fault in the date column are just missed out and not pulled through the pipeline. I have tried changing the error output from fail component to ignore error and redirect row but nothing seems to catch it.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may be the case?
I'm looking to copy multiple files from multiple subfolders within a directory via ftp.
So our FTP server will have a /Logs directory with multiple subfolder reprisenting different machines So you may have /Logs/M_987, /Logs/M_123, etc, etc... the number of machines is variable as they can be added or removed.
And I'm trying to make an import routine that will go through all the subfolders on a remote machine and FTP the log files contained within them over to a local machine for importing.
The one thing i'm struggling on is making the FTP Task loop through remote folders and copy all *.log files.
I can get it working on a single folder within /Logs but need a way to "wildcard" the subfolders or loop through all subfolders within /Logs?
I have an excel file which i am reading through SSIS through MICROSOFT Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider. My problem is that if the Excel file has data in a column as 123.45 which is displayed as 123. SSIS is able to pick 123 only and not 123.45. however if I change the data type to Numeric in the excel, SSIS is able to read data as 123.45.Any solution other than changing data type in Excel?
I'm trying this code in a script task inside a foreach loop that gets a file in a foreach file enumerator and maps it to a variable FileName. In the script task I'm setting the ReadOnlyVariables to @[User::FileName] : Imports System.IO Imports System Imports System.Data Imports System.Math Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime Public Class ScriptMain Public Sub Main() Dim fname As String = CType(Dts.Variables("FileName").Value, String) File.Move(fname, fname + ".processed") Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success End Sub End Class But now getting this error: Error: Failed to lock variable "\xxxxDataf1.csv" for read access with error 0xC0010001 "The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created.".
As you can see the variable does appear to be resolving.
I have searched on this forum for a similar question but couldn't find it so I apologize if this has been asked. If so, I'd greatly appreciate a link to the question. I have created a custom task and am trying to read an xml package configuration file within my custom task. To be more specific, I have added an ADO.Net Connection to my database onto the package and have generated the appropriate tags within my package's configuration xml file. I'm not seeing the classes I should use to access the configuration file of the package I've created. Does anybody have any ideas how I can accomplish this or a link to a document that might cover the material? Thanks!
I am trying to ETL from excel source to SQL table. When I created the package my excel had certain number of rows. Later if I add (append) few more rows in the spreadsheet ... the ssis package (also in excel source preview) not reading the newly added rows. Suprisingly it is reading new rows if they are inserted in between existing rows.
I have created an ssis package, am using Script task to read all the cell values and comments.

Can anybody give as any clue, all helps are welcome.
I have to transform 500 columns from an excel sheet to Sql Server. In Excel 2k3 , I can read a max of 256 columns only.If I use Excel 2k7, then SSIS 2k5 excel source does not support excel 2k7. If I use ole db source then again it can read a max of 256 columns.how can we read 500 columns in excel sheet (Around 10000 rows) efficiently using SSIS 2k5.
I'm reading values from a named range within an Excel spreadsheet using the Excel ODBC driver. If I ask for all columns within a range, using e.g. select * from 'named range', does the driver ensure that the returned rowset has the same column and row ordering as in the spreadsheet? In other words, if a named range on a spreadsheet is the block of cells:
name age
richard 54
jemima 27
I want to make sure that my returned rowset is not going to be:
age name
jemima 27
richard 54
I know that proper databases do not guarantee the order of returned values (unless you specify it) but since Excel is a fixed view of data I was hoping that a returned rowset of values would retain their spreadsheet ordering.
Any idea about how to configure/read multiple worksheets from a spreadsheet using single connection manager? I think using SQL Command we could able to do - not sure how to achieve that. Let me know the other alternatives too.
I have an Excel sheet that is dynamically updated (through DDE) and I want to import this data to a table in SQL Server 2005. Using SQL Server Management Studio to configure an Excel data source as a linked server. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306397/EN-US/)
Following the first 5 steps should let me acces the table (but I cannot view the data in SQL Server 2005). However, I could not find how to export the data into an existing table. Does anyone know how or can give a pointer to document describing how to do this?

I have some XML that I'm passing through a variable into the XML task in SSIS. I also have an xsd file that I'm using and I want to validate (I think) that XML and have the XML task output an excel document. I've got the xsd file all set up in the "second operand" part of the XML task and the XML I'm passing in as a variable and that's in the "input" part of the XML task. My question is are there any tricks to make an excel document with these two things? Is there something I need to do in the xsd file to tell it that I want excel? Below is my XML and xsd:
I created an Excel Source and used a query to get the data,i.e
SELECT F1,F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7 FROM [Fut Days$A20:G1480]
The query works fine, the preview returns the rows, but SSIS will not generate output Columns nor will it let me manually add them? Am I missing something?
