I can load a text file into an SQL SERVER Table using a DTS package but as I need to load about 100 text files into one SQL Server table I feel it would be better to do this using an Active X script task.

I cannot use a BULK INSERT Statement as I do not have SysAdmin permissions so I thought I could do it using statements like :

DTSDestination("ColA")=DTSSource("Col1")

but I do not know how to do this (I Cannot figure out how to specify a text file as the source using VBScript). I am obviously on completely the wrong track.

Can someone tell me if it is actually possible to write an ActiveX Script which loads a text file into an SQL Server table and if so, show an example which I can later modify to loop through the 100 or so files that I need to load?

Thanks for your help

Peter"
