Ok, it was just a quick reply I must admit.

I only now see that you found you solution already.

But to add, I had a problem with the Bulk insert (cant remember now what it was, might have been the same thing) and decided to use the OLE destination component. The problem I had was also a null error, but it was solved with the database, owner table solution.

When I say manually, I love editing the packages outside of BIDS, and in 2008 it works much better (manual edit of the package) where as in 2005 I experienced some problems with the manaul edit of the package.

On a persoanl note, I think I need a red bull today.

Thx
