DATETIME is stored internally in SQL Server as the number of days since 1/1/1900 (the integer part) plus (I think) a decimal part representing the number of...

Not directly.

But you can handle it with some code. Import every row as a single column and then send that through a Script Component to parse out the relevant columns.

If you are open to alternative ideas, have you considered creating a table of 'selected customer numbers', which can be repopulated every time the job runs?

The table, or tables, would...
