You haven't unticked the the box that states your first line has column headings. In your first screen shot it's ticked.

Excuse my typos and sometimes awful grammar. My fingers work faster than my brain does.

Thank you.
But if I untick that check box the columns in have defined in the third screen shot are also getting deleted.
And in the last screen shot(the preview mode) is also getting screwed up.
I Need to see the preview mode as it is shown there.
Can that be achieved after unticking that check box?
Thanks in advance

yeah, if your data does not have column headings, you have to define their names manually; you have the screenshot, so just uncheck the column headings and head over the advanced editor, an d change COLUMN0,COLUMN1, etc to match your column names you want.

Hi Lowell,
Your suggestion worked like a charm. Thanks mate. I unticked the checkbox and redefined the columns and executed the step.
Its no more skipping the first record and I got all the records inserted into the backend table. 🙂
