Hi,

We upload a number of files from various sources and would like to return a load analysis, i.e. good, bad, total data. A lot of this information is of a sensitive nature, so I would also like to password protect the output, which preferably needs to be in XL format.

Can anyone offer some guidance on this?

Thanks.

Hi,

I don't know how close I am but you can do this from front end using VB 6.0, VB.NET or C#. Generate the XL document using Excel API. Then protect it with password or zip it.

Other wise generate a private key for the file and encrypt it and make a tool to read the file using de-crypt key. Just an idea.

Regards
Sachin

You can use excel object in an activex task inside the dts package, may not be a good idea though

Thanks
