Hi,

Is there a way to do the following in DTS.

There a zip file in a FTP site, which contains a mdb file.
I need to download it first and then extract the mdb file from the ftp site and tranfer the data in to a table in sql server.

I can do the last part, tranfering data from mdb to sql server table, but its the first part that i need help with.

Hope sombody can help me out with this.
(Note: I have very very little knowledge on dts).

Thanks a lot in advance,
Nitu

U may use the following way

FTP from some other location using DTS

Using the following link, find the way to run a dos command (in command line) to Unzip the file and extract to a specified location

if the result is successfull, proceed with transfering data from mdb to sql server
