| Mark writes "I would like to UPDATE a SQL table through an automated import of an Excel file. For example, I have a SQL customer table with 2 columns, Customer Number and Customer Name, and the customer number is the primary key. Within an Excel file I have the same customer number with a new customer name. Is there any way that I can automatically update the customer name in the SQL table without deleting the row using DTS?I am using SQL Server 2000 with NT 4.0 Service Pack 6. Thank you." |

| If the Excel file stays the same then just set up a linked server to it and you can update/insert as you would from another SQL table, no need for DTS.HTHJasper Smith |
