I had a simple SSIS flat file import going but the empty date fields were not showing up as
null but "1899-12-30 00:00:00.000".
Short answer:
- Right click "flat file source" component
- Select "Show Advanced Editor" from the context menu
- On the "Component Properties" tab set "RetainNulls" to true
I knew it was hidden somewhere! This post helped -
