• Shawn, In the XML file I find three connectionManagers.

    It seems that VS is not liking the OData one. So, I removed it (left other two alone) and tried reload, but because of other dependencies am getting further errors.

    If I remove the downstream data tasks that depend on this connectionManager then I am in effect deleting the package I need to reverse engineer..I think.

    Can you see around this?
