Hello,

In my database I want to import data from a .csv file. I do this by importing by "flat file" using the "Import and Export Data" tool for SQL Server Management Studio. This works without problems. When this is done, I save the import as a SSIS-package (so that I can re-do imports later).

The SSIS-package is run from a share on a web hotel where the SQL Server is located. I run the package through the SQL Server Agent in Management Studio. The data is on the form "1.xx" or "0.xx". However, when I run this package as a job by Server Agent I lose the decimal separators. Hence I get "1xx" or just "xx" as values.

Does anyone know why this happen? How can I avoid this?

I'm not sure. I use a SQL account that I got from the database team at my company, to be able to run Server Agent. Maybe the settings on the account/SQL server is different from my local settings? I use swedish... they probably use english.
