DTS package not working on a friends machine

  • This is the error message my friend gets:

    Step 'DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1' failed

    Step Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) Data Pump

    Step Error Description:Column name 'SecurityType' was not found.

    Step Error code: 80042008

    Step Error Help File:sqldts80.hlp

    Step Error Help Context ID:0

     

    When I run the same DTS package, importing the same data file, I don't get this message, the package executes without errors. I can only assume it's some SQL Server setup difference, but don't know where to start looking, any ideas?

    I have checked and the column referred to is there in both the file and the table being imported to.

  • More details would be helpful.  However, the first thing to keep in mind is that when you run a DTS package (regardless of where the package is stored) it executes on the local machine.  So, differences in the setup or permissions, from one machine (or user) to the other are the most likely explanation.
