How to upload and download excel file into server

[Daniel]

Hi,
can u explain to me what is the path need to use in order to upload and
download the file based on below solution:
1.Set up a folder that both the web app and SQL server can get to.
2.Do a simple file upload from the web app

what is DTS package and how to apply it?
3.Set up a DTS package to periodically check the folder to do an import.

Your help will be appreciated.

thank you.

best regards,
GL

I don't believe that SQL Server needs access to the path. Just upload the file to a folder. Can you
do this or do you have a specific question about this process.

I believe this question was answered in your prior post. Are you having problems with the upload
code?

AFAIK, DTS packages don't have this type of capability. You can write code to script a DTS package
but DTS cannot check folders.

You can also use SQL (although I don't know the specifics concerning your import).

Dim ExcelConnection As New
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Micros oft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & "E:\My
Documents\Book5.xls" & ";" & _
"Extended Properties=""Excel
8.0;HDR=No""")

ExcelConnection.Open()

'Existing table
Dim ExcelCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO [ODBC;Driver={SQL
Server};Server=(local);Database=Northwind;Trusted_ Connection=yes].[Orders2] SELECT * FROM
[Orders$];", ExcelConnection)
'New table
'Dim ExcelCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT INTO [ODBC;Driver={SQL
Server};Server=(local);Database=Northwind;Trusted_ Connection=yes].[Orders2] FROM [Orders$];",
ExcelConnection)

ExcelCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
ExcelConnection.Close()
