I'm having problems getting xp_cmdshell to launch DTSRun and am not sure where the problem lies. Here is an example of what happens when I just try to run it in Query Analyzer:

I'm entering:

EXECUTE MASTER.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'DTSRun.exe /S ServerName /U UserName /P Password /N PackageName'

My results are:

NULL

I get the same results if I also use the following:

EXECUTE MASTER.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'DTSRun /S DELAWARE\DELAWARE2000 /U bskidmore /P password /N ACT_Batch_All_Data /G {C364419C-48FA-4499-B900-B4D9287FA26A}'

Can you help? Thanks."
