DTS to Excel Export - Changing Format

Hi,

I have a dts package which is reading from a sql table and writing it to an excel file, its working fine except that I have a decimal field in the sql table but in excel file its writing it as string field.

The way I create this package is that I create a template file and I format that column to a "Number" format. Then I take this template file, rename it, export all the data to this file.

But when I open this file that decimal field is displayed as a string column and its left aligned.

Is there any way to fix this problem?

Thanks,I've never seen this happen. You aren't wrapping you values in quotes are you when you export them.|||No, I am not wrapping values in quotes.
