What do others do if you need to import excel files into SQL Server?
My main problems are

1) zipcode formatting issues. If the column is a mix of zip and zip+4,
I have problems retrieving all zipcodes.

2) If the last column contains NULL no information is imported.

All this with using the Management console using Import data in SQL
Server 2005. I am simply trying to import the data into NEW databases.
The excel files vary in structure. Right now I am working on case by
case basis.

Does anyone see these types of problems?

What I am doing now is converting the excel file to a tab delimited
file and that seems to work.

TIA.
