  Hi,

  I would like to create a job that extracts any file found in a folder, how do I achieve this?

  I am try to avoid specifying a the file name since the folder will contain different file names.

  Regards,

  FM

  Extract into what? Are the files all in the same format? We need just a little more info.

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  Through DTS (Data Transfer Services) you can Import-Export data. Search Book On Line for details.
