Hi,I'm using the DTS Import/Export Wizard to import a text file into a SQL Server and saving the DTS package as a Visual Basic File (to automate a batch of imports). When running this bas file on a tab delimiter file I'm getting an error message "Column Name 'Blah Blah' not found". This works perfectly on comma delimiter file though. I'm guessing there is an error in the default template connection properties of the package.PS: I cannot change the source to be comma delimiter, its set in stone.Any help would be appreciated. |

Show us the script.Maybe you could change the delimiter to "\t" for TAB character? E 12°55'05.63"N 56°04'39.26" |

Hi,Thanks for your response. "/t" has the same error message. Set oConnection = goPackage.Connections.New("DTSFlatFile") oConnection.ConnectionProperties("Data Source") = "J:\AdHocRequests\Pharm\Metro\Data\Combined.txt" oConnection.ConnectionProperties("Mode") = 1 oConnection.ConnectionProperties("Row Delimiter") = vbCrLf oConnection.ConnectionProperties("File Format") = 1 oConnection.ConnectionProperties("Column Delimiter") = " " oConnection.ConnectionProperties("File Type") = 1 oConnection.ConnectionProperties("Skip Rows") = 0 oConnection.ConnectionProperties("Text Qualifier") = """" oConnection.ConnectionProperties("First Row Column Name") = True oConnection.ConnectionProperties("Max characters per delimited column") = 8000 |
