Here are example of UserID which I use:
7890, 0067, k2350, 9877, k8899

The problem with this data transferring is, it does not capture the userIds which have character in it (in this case k2350 & k8899) and it return null values. For numbered userID it will return the exact value from the source file (Excel). I had checked the table design and the datatype for the userID is varchar. Basically, the DTS for the file transferring is a very simple procedure and yet I couldn't find what the problem is. Can you help???? I really appreciate your advice."
