I am creating an SSIS package to query a database and extract the results to a csv file. I'm using Visual Studio 2019. I have set "Header rows to skip:" to 0 - 4. I did the same with data rows in the Preview tab, and nothing changes. I do not see anything the Properties to remove the header. I also tried this link, and it did not help.

The answer is to set header rows to skip to 0 and uncheck the column names in the first data row. To get this to create a file manager with the column headings, I used the following steps:

1. Delete the flat file destination and file manager, if exists
2. Add new flat file destination and click new flat file manager
3. When the dialogue opens, it asks for an existing file. Instead, browse to a path and enter a new file name. Column names in the first data row will not be checked, so click OK and OK. This will populate a flat file without headers.
