Question : Use DTS to Convert an Excel Spreadsheet into a .CSV file
|
|
I am building a web application that will allow a user to upload spreadsheets into a database. I am using DTS packages to load these spreadsheets into SQL Server, however one particular spreadsheet is formatted inconsistently and the only way I can parse it into the database is by converting it into a .CSV file first.
Is there a best practice or efficient way to do this using some sort of ActiveX script?
I am using SQL Server 2000 (SP4) and am fairly adept at using vbscript.
Much appreciated.

Here are a couple of related problems when importing from Excel using DTS:
