SQL and EXcel

  • i am trying to convert xlsx to xls using DTS script task,but because the server hasn't got excel installed its throwing an error..Would it be ok to load MS compatibility pack on the server, or is there a better way to covert the files using DTS.

    I presume you mean SSIS rather than DTS.

    Can't you just change your original process to save in xls format? Or both (one xls and one xlsx)?
