Another thing I want to mention after being burned by OLE DB and Excel. Even though you have IMEX=1 set, don't be surprised if the data fill contains some unexpected nulls. This happens because the underlying ISAM driver for Excel uses the first 8 cells of a column by default to determine the type. If you are dealing with spreadsheets from other people, chances are they are not 100% clean.

Fear not, all you need to do is edit the Registry and change a setting:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel

TypeGuessRows should be set to a value appropriate for determining the data type of your column. You can specify 0 and it will scan 16,000 rows which is probably overkill in most cases. This is an intertive process to get to the point where you have an acceptable value and clean results. Once you finish the tuning remember to add the registry setting to your setup program

Good Luck
