Hi,

I have created a DTS procedure that takes a view from a server and transfers the data to a spreadsheet for the user. The original procedure is working fine, but the user wants this view printed off on a weekly basis and everytime I run the procedure now it just adds new rows to the existing ones. I can get round this by deleting the values in the spreadsheet before it is run again but ideally I want the details coming into the spreadsheet to replace the ones already there automatically. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

If you are using Export/Import wizard for it, then you can choose Delete row from destination table in Edit .And schedule it to run with Jobs .
