Hi,

Generally the files submitted to me are in ASCII or UTF8, and tab or coma seperated but they maybe fixed width (rarely)

Is there a way to automate and force files into a table without having to pre-configure a load type?

So for instance I have Data flow task, where the file is set to tab delimited, is the only way to pass this is to create a different file for each different delimiter or is there a way to handle the different types?

Thanks
