Greetings everyone,

First-time poster here. (waves hello) I have a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 package that was written by someone. It takes a list of names and does fuzzy matches on them against a database. The person linked it to the wrong database, and then they went on vacation.

My question is: how can I import a SAS database into the package, allowing me to compare the list of names against the new database?

I would be obliged to receive any help.

Cheers, Nikolaus

I failed to mention that I am a rank beginner when it comes to SSIS.

Check connections in the package, you can either modify them or create new one to point to your db.

Thanks, it happened to be a connection problem in the package and another issue--I imported the data into an MS Access table first, and then I pointed the package to there.
