Creating sql server table from dts

I am trying to design a SSIS DTS package that imports an Excel named range (acts as a table) into a SQL Server 2005 database table. The direct import (using the import/export wizard) works fine, but I need to use a DTS package with a data transformation step. The DTS fails to create/replace/or update the SQL Server table. Suggestions?

Which is it? SSIS or DTS?

Can you clarify what you're trying to do?

How are you attempting to create/replace/update the table?

Kirk, Thank you for the response. Your book will arrive tomorrow and I expect it to answer my many questions. I am trying to use the SQL Server 2005 SSIS designer to produce a package (SSIS or DTS?) to copy a named range (proxy for an Excel 'table') from a network drive; convert the data types to what I want on the SQL Server 2005 server; delete the database table if it already exists and create a new table; and write the new data to the table. The connection to the Excel workbook named range and the data conversion step work fine. I get the following error in the destination step: [SQL Server Destination [98]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E14 Description: "Could not bulk load because SSIS file mapping object 'Global\DTSQLIMPORT ' could not be opened. Operating system error code 2(The system cannot find the file specified.). Make sure you are accessing a local server via Windows security." I have no idea what this means!

I am a 'user' rather than an 'IT pro' who is trying to build a small 'data-mart' for better management of data used for analysis, forecasting and strategic planning. A SSIS package appears to be the best means for accomplishing this task every month and many other data upload packages will be produced as soon as I understand the process.

Thank you for your help.
