| Take a look at looping, skipping a task, and obtaining variables from global parameters.http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?220,271,271,1,1http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=12408Also script out your dts package by saving as vbs file and examine it so you understand the code behind the dts package.I had a good example somewhere I will try to find it.Here it is.http://www.sqlteam.com/Forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23576Edited by - ValterBorges on 05/01/2003 10:59:06Edited by - ValterBorges on 05/01/2003 11:02:56 |

| I recommend nr's method instead of the DTS way. The FTP task in DTS is not flexible enough for a lot of situations. You can still use FTP in a DTS package, but it is done through a "Execute SQL Task" task instead of a "File Transfer Protocol task" task.Tara |
