Bulk Insert Utility

I need to import data from an excel file to a SQL SERVER databse with the help of BUlk insert utility (with out running a DTS).Can anybody tell me the code?I need to place the code in a Stored Procedure.
SubhasishHi!

Bulk Insert task is a kind of task that can be included into a DTS package.
I believe you CANT import from an excel file using an stored procedure, you have to create a DTS package

Subhasish|||Can I do it with the help of BCP?|||No, it needs to be a csv (or some delimited) or fixed width file...|||So either save the xls as csv or call the dts package from your stored procedure. Any reason why you do not want to use dts ?
