• Thanks for the suggestions, Andy. That's what I'll have to shoot for if we can't get the issues resolved as they stand at present... writing some very simplistic pkgs. that do very basic read/write operations to Excel, see if they'll run in production, and move on from there.

    By the way, I attended your SSIS session at the SQL Saturday event in Murfreesboro, TN this past January and thoroughly enjoyed your presentation.
