<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I try to create a SSIS package and want to setup the Excel connection. Here are what I did:<br />
<br />
1. right click the Data Source<br />
2. Select &quot;new&quot; connection<br />
3. Look for Excel in the provider.<br />
<br />
However, i just cannot see any Excel connection in the list. Anyone can show me where it is?<br />
<br />
BTW, I use BIDS 2008. <br />
<br />
Thanks a lot in advance.<br />
