I have a package where the first step archives a file if it is present. Most times it should not be present, so I have set the workflow for the next step to be on completion. This works fine for the package, the subsequent steps are always executed as I intended. Unfortunately, the job shows as a failure most days when the file is not present.

Is there a way to set up the job (or package) so that the results of this first step (failure or success) do not impact the job status (failure or success)?

By archive do you mean move the file to another directory?
Just use an os move command which should show successful whether or not the file is present.
Otherwise add a step to check to see if the file exists and then only execute the archive step if it does exist.
or use an ectivex script and the fso as in

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
