David writes "I have a DTS package with a number of global variables. Some are set at design time (such as email addresses) and some at run-time (such as the number of records that failed a particular operation).

I'm having *a lot* of problems using the global variables, in that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. Even trying to set a variable to the current date, by using the Dynamic Properties to assign it the value of SELECT GETDATE() doesn't work, yet in the same task, setting a different variable to the result of SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable WHERE myColumn = 1 does work!"

Forget it.

Either let DTS creat a new table (not reccommended) or Load a work table. Once it's loaded use transact sql to do what you want.

Besides, it's slower in DTS....row by row...oeyi..
