    I have learnt my lesson. Do not, no matter how simple you think the DTS task is, let SQL build a DTS package for you. It just causes trouble. Endless loads of trouble. Hours of frustrating "why the hell isn't this working, tweak, tweak, tweak, shit still doesnt work" trouble. All I wanted was for it to import an Excel spreadsheet every hour on the hour... but NOOOOOO it can't farking do it. FARK FARK FARK firetruck! My motto from now re: SQL: Do it yourself! And what the hell does "task reported failure on completion" mean anyway? God help tech support for SQL! regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Brian Delahunty wrote: one of my boys on the inside instead of the outside benjymous wrote: All the male CP inhabitants cross their legs in unison

      what the hell does "task reported failure on completion" mean Why, it means the same thing as "task reported success on incompletion". If you're on drugs. Good ones. Drugs that make every utterance profound. Not that I've ever inhaled or ingested any illegal substances, of course. I read a lot.

        I'm sorry to hear about your woes Paul. If there is anything I can do to help please let me know. Sometimes I wish we could return to the era pre-spreadsheet so this sort of problem didn't exist. Stuff like this was just so much easier in business specific lingos like COBOL.
