We developed an client-server application that run DTS in SQL Server 7. To run DTS, we need DTSrun, but apparently we only get DTSRun file by installing SQL Server. If we run the DTSRun from server using xp_CmdShell, that mean the directory to store file generated by the DTS process will store in server (If we type "C:\" that's mean C:\ in server not in client, except we use the network address which we don't want to use).
Is there any way for us to get the DTSRun file and it's library without installing SQL Server 7 ? My friend told me to use MSDE, but no MSDE for SQL Server 7, or is that possible that MSDE for 2000 version can be use with 7 version ?

You just need to switch completely to using MSDE 2000. You can download it, and the latest service pack which you need to apply, at www.microsoft.com. Just go to the download area. That should have everything you need. I haven't used MSDE in so long, I'm assuming it has the DTSrun utility with it. ??

Access 2000 apparantly have some incompatibility issue with SQL Server 2000 somewhere in their function (we already tried to upgrade our db to 2000 version once but some problem start to raised, so we switch back)
Is there any other way so we can have DTSRun and maybe BCP installed in client without have to install MSDE ?
