to close the loop.

I've been having several issues w/ SSIS. specifically w/ it's file consumption. In this instance u have to access the tab name as opposed to some sort of tab array. Ideally it should allow for tab(0) type thing. Nonetheless, I'm starting to learn that there are several other etl tools that don't seem to have the same issue's I’m running into w/ SSIS.

As far as this specific issue. I ended up writing a C# console app to step through all folders and files and consume all excel spreadsheets into db table. For whatever reason I don’t appear to have the same sorts of missing column issues due to data inconsistencies as I do in ssis.
