P.S:- File system task will be your first task before dataflow, you can also have a sql task if you want to create an excel in between those two, but depends on your requiremnet in my cas i didnt need it. let me know if any queries :) Cheers, Aashish you can do it in much simpler way, All you need to do is the following.

The best I could do is look at your statments and see if something stands out. Post it here if you want me and others to take a look. Barry,
