What is the method used to import an excel spreadsheet into a SQL database? The database was just converted from Access to SQL. The spreadsheet use to import with no problem into Access. I am not very proficient when it comes to SQL so if you could really spell it out or point me to a good source I would really appreciate it. We have many other databases that we will be converting to SQL and importing information from excel too.

DTS is the tool to use for this.

sqldts.com is a very good site for DTS information. Also, Books Online.

You could also use openrowset with the jet data provider in an SP.
DTS is probably preferable but depends on the requirements.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
