Excel Integration in SSIS Package Here's an older list of links I used when populating an excel spreadsheet versus extracting as you are hoping to do.
One of the biggest things I ran into is whether or not it's xls or xlsx (Office 2007). Maybe some of these will point you in a direction. I don't mean to imply that any of these will answer your question, but I'm pressed for time so I wanted to share the resources I found for my situation.
