(environment: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Version 9.03.30729, .Net Framework Version 3.5 SP1; I'm not using SQL Agent Job. )
I'm using SSIS to load data into a 1997-2003 version xls file. To prevent number stored as text in the destination xls file, I'm using a xls template with the 2nd row hidden. In the hidden row, I put in number and format the cell as number. For the text column, I just left them blank. The first task of the SSIS project is to make a copy of the template and put it in the destination folder with timestamp suffix in file name.
The project all ran ok if I use an xls template WITHOUT the hidden row. But once I have the hidden row, I started getting the error as pasted below.
I appreciate your feedback and suggestion. thanks!
