Hi

I am loading a text file into my DB tables. This part is easy for me through a SP but the problem is how can i pick up the right file to load coz every time the file name will be changing.

Here the load is done by the user its not automated. when the user clicks on load file the SP which fires the load process.

Is there a way like...If the user know the file name to load, he will be sending the file name to the SP(load process), then the SP picks up the given file name. How can i do this?

If you're doing it via an sp then why use dts?
Use bulk insert and it should be simple as you can build the command in the sp with the filename.

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