Ok i have a Excel import written. It uses excel automation to go through all the records and get the job done. BUt how would you do it if you had to do it?
Would you use SSIS?
Would You use a Dataconnection?
I am really confused as to the best way to get this done properly. So that it doesn’t slow down the actual application for the other clients when one client does an import.
Thanks
An approach I have used in the past is to read Excel spreadsheet data using OleDb. This article has the basics:

This avoids having to use automation, and proved to be quite efficient.
