I have a fully functional DTS Package that I want to load into a new database environment using SQL Query Analyzer. Does anyone know how to accomplish this task? I know this can be done using Enterprise manager, but I must have it in a script that can be executed in Query Analyzer. Please advice. Thanks.

you can use DTSRun and xp_cmdshell to run it..

Thanks for the reply folks, but I'm looking for a script that can load the DTS package that was created in a different environment into a totallyh different environment by using Query Analyzer. Please advice. Thanks.

One of the problems with this is that you could potentially execute the DTS package on the machine that the DTS package was written for. If your DTS Package has a connection definition(or several) that is static then even if you do manage to execute the DTS package, it will be hitting the original database.
