| Have a Excel template for a daily report. I need to have it fill each time a SSIS pkg is called. However, the one field that is over 255 characters stops it from filling. The destination will not allow me to change it either to DT_WSTR 4000 characters or to DT_NTEXT. It appears to decide for me that I only need DT_WSTR 255 characters. Only if I trick it by adding a large text to the cell in the first row of that column will it insert the data property.However, I cannot have that large text in my template because it does not copy over it so it becomes part of the report.I have tried to find a way to overwrite the first row but cannot find any way to do that. Would appreciate help...we need this done as soon as possible.What can I do????? I have found supposed fixes on the Net but none worked.McGurkAll that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost... JRR Tolkien |

| Thanks for the reply.It will not let me save the change until it is connected to the Excel Connection Manager so the Excel Destination reads that before I have a chance to make the change.McGurkAll that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost... JRR Tolkien |
