Sorry but I've been at this for ages and am stuck.

I have a table which has a column named [Import Date]

Data Type = datetime
Default Value or Binding = (getdate())

When I run the SSIS though the field is filled with NULL


When I look at the Package in the BI Development Studio, select Advanced Editor and then Input and Output Properties, I can see the Data Type.


My question after all that is, how to I make Import Date populate everytime the SSIS Package is run?

Remove the column from the maping in ssis and it should use the defulat.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
SSIS can be used in a similar way.

Thanks, only started using sql 2005 yesterday, so please let me clarify what I've done because it's still not working.

In the BI Development Studio I deleted the Import Date column in External Columns. I then reimported using my SSIS Package.

However, the field is NULL and when I check the External Columns, it's put itself back in. The field in the table is set to (getdate()) and datatype datetime

In the dataflow there will be a mapping of the source to destination columns. You need to delete it from there.
