| I'm importing a fixed width text file into SQL using DTS. The txt file is all data with no headers. I need to specify specific column names, because my next step is going to to be moving this data into multiple established SQL Tables.Can I specify column names in DTS? It seems to always force me to name the columns Col001, Col001, etc.Thanks |

| You can name the columns of the table you are importing into.If you are creating it through the designer then just overtype the column names in the create statement.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
