SSIS: Excel Connectors

  • Article

SSIS uses the JET provider under the covers to access earlier versions of Excel and Access. That is what happens when you use the Excel connection manager, which is a wrapper around JET provider. By the same token, connectivity to Access is also currently wrapped around JET, and offered by a special user interface in SSIS.

If you are dealing with Office 2007, you must use the new ACE provider, please see the page on Office 2007. There's also a step by step instruction on how to use Excel.
