sql server dts:
Here's what I need to do. I have several MS Excel templates that I want to
create a copy of, then put the file in a working directory and push data to
several worksheets inside the Excel files using DTS, then I'd like to move
the file to an FTP server. I have one particular task that I'm not sure I
can do in DTS, I think it will require some VBA automation, I have to goto
indivual cells to insert data, can I do this in DTS or do I need something
like VB.NET or VB...???

(I don't really want to use a VBScript task for this but also realize it
might be the most efficient way to do it)...

If you want to start putting data into specific cells then the only way I
know is to use automation. I did this a while ago on a VBScript task.

Hello Allan,

Thanks for your reply!! You wouldn't be willing to allow me to peruse a
sample of your automation VBScript task would you...? I see you have a new
book out, I checked on Amazon there were only two available is that a
publishing issue or are you just selling alot of books, hopefully the
later..? It looks like it's going to be a great book I can't wait to get it.

Dan
