Can we import data from Excel with more than 256 fields in to a SQL database using SSIS. If so is there any trick for this, as I couldn’t see more than 255 columns in the column selection at Excel source in SSIS

If you mean you couldn't see more than 255 rows in the Data Source Component's preview within SSIS then that is expected since I believe that is the most it will show you. Of course all the rows will be imported.

As i tried all avenues with no success, i tried converting the excel file in to a tab delimited text and tried the import. It worked superb..
