Hi, im trying to look at a misbehaving DTS package in Enterprise Manager. However when I try to go to Design Package I get the following Error:

Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Package

Error Description: The system cannot find the file specified

Im not to hot with DTS and really need to get this problem sorted, any ideas.

Cheers,

Simon

Probably you service pack level on your client machine...

Try applying sp3 and it should work...

Is it service pack 3/3a on the database server or on your client machine? Service packs can be applied to the client machines. In fact, in SQL 7.0 it was almost required in order to design packages. It's not as important now with SQL 2000, but you should consider installing sp3/3a on your client machine.

yeah i think it must be a service pack thing, the service pack level is "release to manufacturing" whatever that means, probably no service packs.

Thanks

Simon.

@@VERSION won't help you with checking the version of your SQL Client tools though unless you've also got the database server installed there too.
