Hello Experts,<br />
I am using SQL Server 2008 - SSIS to load excel files to database.<br />
<br />
SSIS excel connection manager, lets you specify which type of excel file, you will be connecting to either xls or xlsx, you can not use one connection manager for both types, this &nbsp;only allows the user to always change an xlsx file to xls, then process it, <br />
<br />
Is there a way to dynamically change the connection manager, based on the type of excel file, or should i just have two different SSIS packages called, when a different type is processed.<br />
<br />
Say i have 2 files - test.xls &nbsp; and test.xlsx --- &nbsp;i want to process both files without changing excel connection manager info in SSIS.<br />
<br />
Any Idea?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Microsoft SQL Server

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server database software that can be used to perform a broad range of data migration tasks. SSIS is a platform for data integration and workflow applications. It features a fast and flexible data warehousing tool used for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL). The tool may also be used to automate maintenance of SQL Server databases and updates to multidimensional cube data. SSIS replaced Data Transformation Services, which had been a feature of SQL Server since Version 7.0.
