I would like to import data to a SQL Server 2000 table.

I have the source data in a text file, tab-delimited and as an Excel 2000 file.

The data is sorted.

When I import, using eirther the Excel file or the text file, the data rows get "scrabbled".

Any ideas why this is happening ??

Thanks
 
Is there an clustered index on the table you are importing the data into. If so, that is the culprit.

Thanks

You are correct. In fact, there weren't ANY indexes on that table.

Putting on a clustered index did the trick.

Thanks !
