Hello, I am try to import excel file by manually from "Import Wizard", but when i import excel file, it gave an error :- "Could not import E:test.xls. The file may be in an unsupported format, or it could be corrupt."

Please give me a solution ASP.

Thanks, Munish

What SA version are you using? A direct import from Excel files is not possible with SA11 and higher.

If you export the content of the XLS file as a text file (CSV), the import wizard should handle that.

Alternativeley take a look at Volker's response (FAQ).

You may have a look at that FAQ for an "programmable solution".

For a manual import, you might choose the "Import Wizard" in Interactive SQL.

Import you stuff in a temporary table and create a procedure/script that takes care of your duplicate primary key problem. You can not expect from a import engine to solve this for you.
