Hi Stan,

Thank U for your answer.

Do U think that there is a solution with excel file source and thousand lines in a EXCEL file ??

I am not sure of what you are asking, but an Excel file with 1000 lines is not a big file. Exporting it to CSV would be trivial.

Do you know how to export a CSV file from Excel by doing a "File-Save As" then choosing "MS-DOS CSV" as the type?

Dynamically create and populate staging tables from CSV files. Program can't load records that have the apostrophe character . Do you have any solution for that?

Yes... get a better program. 😀

Now I suppose you're going to spam us with one, yes?

I would open the CSV file in Excel and search-and-replace the apostrophe with nothing, then save the revised file as a CSV file that now contains no apostrophes.

Apostrophes generally aren't a problem with anything that can handle a CSV. That's why I think the post was a setup for spam. I could be wrong.
