Hi -- I'm building a DTS package where I need to append rows from a table to an existing ascii file. My problem is that DTS seems to assume that I want to overwrite the text file. How do I tell it to append and not overwrite?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bill

Not sure of the answer to this one, but a workaround might be to export rows to a holding table. Then run an activex script to append the contents of the holding file to the main file.
