Hi,

On SQL 2005 I am trying automatically through the import 'wizard' import data from excel into an existing table that I have created. I can't find a way to do this without creating a new table. Any takes?

You can choose existing table, similar to sql2k's wizard.

The wizard in SQL 2005 doesn't give an option for existing table--unless I am missing anything.

Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to import an excel file into an existing sql table using either the wizard or coding?

Just click on destination, it'll list existing tables. Works same way as sql2k's data export wizard.

I am trying to import data 'from' excel 'to' SQL 2005. You said just click on destination, the window that gives destination allows me to select the server, then on the bottom, it says "database" which allows me to select the database. However, there is no option to select an existing table. Any suggestions?
