Excel download using DTS

  • Can I use a DTS script to download an excel file from a specified location on the company-wide WAN (Intranet) and import certain rows from the excel into a DB table. Is that possible??

    Or do i have to use Ole Automation....functions..

  • When you say dwnload, exactly what type of connection and what transfer method. IP thru HTTP or FTP, IP thru share, which type? Any pretty much can be done but there are specific things you have to care for on each.

  • After you have the connection, here is an example in how to import range from excel using DTS

  • Yes, you can using the File Transfer Protocol Task or http://FTP.exe(check BOL for how to use FTP).
