Back again,

I have a web app (ASP) that uses SQL server 7 for the database.

I created a DTS package to export the data into Access for downloading.

The users will be able to upload access db's with queries/reports they have written, and allow the other users to download them.

1. Without knowing the name of the access database i am writing the DTS package for, can I pass the name of the Access Database (with Path) to the DTS Package.

2. Would it be better performance wise to run the DTS package from a stored proc ( i read com objects are good, but I wish to avoid them)

3. If i got away from the event driven method and set up a Schedule for the DTS to run, could I somehow, call DTS with Each Access DB that is uploaded on the server (I will be storing info for each db in a table in the Sql server.

I know this is a tall order, but the BOL,etc help are cryptic to me on this.
thanks Much.
