I am pulling my hair our due to a SSIS questions, hopefully you can help me out:

An excel file is located on a sharepoint site's document library, like: http://www.abc.com/docLib/myexcel.xls
When I access the file from IE, I need to type domain name, username and password.

Customers will change myexcel.xls periodically from the sharepoint site, whenever the file changes, a SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS)task will be activated to load the latest myexcel.xls to a SQL Server table.

My question is: how shall I implement the SSIS package to import the excel file to a SQL server table, I could not find a place in SSIS to configure the username and password for the sharepoint website to access the excel file. Your suggestions are highly appreciated!

I searched and found this might work: To use SSIS script task to download the file from sharepoint site to local drive, then use SSIS to load the excel file locally. However, I do not know how to write the SSIS script to download files that is password protected. And I hope there are better options.

Thanks in advance!!!

Trent"
