Updating files via DTS -- Please Reply

  • How can I

    1. get a "Transform Data Task" properties to insert data into a "password protected" Excel file ?

    OR

    2. automatically add "xyz" as the password after the data has been inserted ?

  • Sorry, I don't use DTS, but http://www.sqldts.com is a frequently referenced source for such questions. Maybe you find something there.

  • Hi,

    You cant access an existing password protected Excel file as it is encrypted.

    You will be able to get around this by using an activeX script task to create the file, then pass data into it, then use another activeX script task to password protect the Excel file.

    Have fun
